Today you will pump your heart 100,000 times. You will filter 200 litres of blood through your kidneys and your liver will perform 500 different functions. While you read this sentence you will produce at least 1,000,000 red blood cells to replace the ones that have just naturally died.

Miraculously, you will make a new layer of skin over the next month, a new layer of cells to coat your gastrointestinal tract over the next 4 days and enough liver cells to make an entire liver over the next 6 weeks.

You will do it all without much thought, without reading an instruction booklet, without any therapy and without any medication; It is the mystery of life that science can’t explain! How did you, for instance, organise each one of your 50,000,000,000 cells that make YOU from 1 microscopic cell?

What do we call this phenomena? Is it Nature? It is God? Is it innate intelligence or 3 billion years of natural selection?

Whatever we label this astonishing achievement you perform each day, science claims that your nervous system (your brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves) is central to your body functioning the way it does. Click here to view an interactive model.

Unfortunately, we don't appreciate the importance and impact of this system on our overall health until we hear of the tragedies of paralysed people who sustain serious injury to their spines. Not only do they lose function of their limbs but their organs and systems malfunction too. Spinal injuries sustained years ago, while not as serious as these paralytic injuries, can cause long term health consequences.

A comprehensive spinal check up is a step you can take.
