The nervous system is the body’s command centre, controlling and coordinating every function and action. It is made up of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), each playing a vital role in maintaining balance and health. At Bornman Chiropractic in Moreleta Park, Pretoria, we understand the importance of a well-functioning nervous system for overall health and well-being.

Central Nervous System (CNS)

The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is the control centre, processing information from the body and sending out instructions. The spinal cord acts as the primary communication pathway, transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Any disruptions in this communication due to spinal misalignments can impact your health, leading to pain, discomfort, and other health issues.

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

The peripheral nervous system extends beyond the brain and spinal cord, comprising nerves and ganglia that connect the CNS to the rest of the body. These nerves reach out to every muscle, organ, and tissue, ensuring that messages from the brain are delivered accurately. If the spine is not properly aligned, it can put pressure on these nerves, leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or even impaired organ function.

Sense Organs: Vital Communication Channels

The sense organs—including the eyes, ears, skin, and other sensory receptors—are crucial parts of the nervous system. They gather information from the environment and send it to the brain for processing. A healthy nervous system ensures that these organs work optimally, allowing you to respond effectively to your surroundings.
