Any tissue — bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, organ — can become misaligned (subluxation), causing poor nerve communication. All structures are energy and can be corrected energetically.
History of Chiropractic
In 1891, Dr. Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer in Davenport, Iowa, examined his building's deaf janitor Harvey Lillard. Finding a misaligned vertebra in Harvey's neck, he realigned it — and restored Harvey's hearing. The first chiropractic adjustment in the modern era. Structure affects function.
Structure Affects Function
A misaligned vertebra puts pressure on the nerve it houses, instead of protecting it. This creates poor communication between brain and organ → poor organ health → disease. Trapped emotions are the most common underlying cause of subluxations.

Brain Communication Percentage
Test: "What percentage of messages from the brain are arriving at this organ?" Set the before value, correct, then set the after value to see the improvement.
Common Structural Imbalances
Kidneys Misalignment
Symptom: Back and knee pain
Single biggest cause of back pain. In 17 years of practice, Dr. Nelson never saw one low back disc patient without kidney imbalance.
Uterus Misalignment
Symptom: Left hip and/or low back pain
Also makes conception harder. Try rolling 3 times to correct.
Stomach Misalignment
Symptom: Acid reflux
Stomach protrudes upward through diaphragm — the sphincter muscle stops working well.
💡 If a structural imbalance returns repeatedly, the most common reason is a trapped emotion lodged in that area. Also remember: "All things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23) — your level of belief determines what's possible.
Which structural imbalance keeps returning for you? What trapped emotion might be lodged in that area?
