Researchers tell us that over 80% of the general population will suffer from one of the great variety of vertebrogenic disorders during various periods of their life. Vertebrogenic disorders are disorders of the body that are caused in whole or in part by misalignment of the spinal column.

In addition to pain and discomfort in the neck and back, these disorders include tension headaches, migraine headaches, dizziness, neuralgia, pain in the shoulders and arms, certain types of pain in the chest and abdomen, pain in the hips, knees and legs (sciatica), disc disorders, certain digestive disorders, problems with menstrual cycles etc. The connection between these seemingly unrelated conditions and the spine is that the nerves, which serve all areas of the body, can be irritated directly or indirectly by the spinal column.
