Description
We know there are several types of nerve interference in the body, directly or indirectly, due to vertebral subluxation. They include:
- Nerve interference
- Cord interference
- Inflammation
- The coating of the nerve (and not the nerve itself)
- Abnormal spinal reflexes
- Bad motion (reduced proprioception) and abnormal neurological input into the brain (dysafferentation)
These concepts are tested on the NBCE Part 2 exam, and the primary reference book is Robert Leach's "Chiropractic Theories."
We understand that any individual or combination of the six (there are more) nerve interferences can happen when someone is subluxated. For example, a patient may have numbness in their index finger on one side (#1 above). However, if they have numbness on both sides of the body, it is most likely #2.
Because there is no repeatable cause and effect by reducing one variable, our understanding of subluxation is more complex and does not fit traditional science as well. The body is so highly interconnected that it cannot be reduced to one single variable. Philosophy and science are not meant to be separated. You have to know what each of them does.
