Have you ever considered how the health of the internal organs in your body are tied to the health of your spine?
Read Dr. Winsors study on this topic
A Healthy Skeleton
A healthy skeleton is important!
A "healthy skeleton" can keep you healthy, while a "sick skeleton" can make you sick! Dr. Winsor studied 75 human and 22 cat cadavers, and found a connection between a slightly curved spine and diseased organs/structures, 212 belonged to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature and 9 belonged to the different sympathetic segments from vertabrae out of line.
The Winsor Autopsies
