ELECTRICIANS & CHIROPRACTORS

Let's compare the human nervous system to a house’s wiring system (both have electricity traveling through them). One thing is to analyze how obstructions affect both systems. In the body, nerves branch out from the spine much like wires extend from a circuit box. These nerves carry signals to muscles, organs, and tissues—just as wires deliver electricity to lights, outlets, and appliances.

Imagine a pinched or obstructed spinal nerve, often caused by herniated discs, misalignments, or inflammation. This impairs signal flow, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness. Similarly, if a wire in your home becomes pinched, frayed, or blocked—say by a screw, corrosion, or faulty connection—the light at the end of that wire may flicker, dim, or stop working altogether.

In both cases, the problem isn't at the destination (the muscle or the light), but at a hidden junction upstream. You wouldn’t change the lightbulb without checking the wiring—just like treating leg pain without assessing the spine could miss the root cause. Chiropractors and electricians alike trace the issue back to the source to restore normal function.

When signals are obstructed, the whole system can suffer.
