Organs Controlled by the Thoracic Nerves

The central nervous system controls all organs and functions in your body. When there is a misalignment in your spine, the nervous system may become compromised, causing a vertebral subluxation complex. The areas (organs and functions) of the body affected by the vertebral subluxation complex may malfunction. Specific symptoms may signal that this malfunction is present.

Here are the areas of the body that are controlled by the nerves stemming from between each vertebra in the thoracic (mid back) spine, and the related symptoms that may be experienced due to a vertebral subluxation complex in that area:

Vertebra Areas/Organs Affected Possible Symptoms Indicating Subluxation
T1 Arms (elbows down) hands, wrists, fingers, esophagus, trachea Pain in lower arms and hands, cough, difficulty breathing, asthma,
T2 Heart Heart conditions
T3 Lungs, chest, breast, bronchial tubes, pleura Pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, chest congestion
T4 Gall bladder Shingles, Gall bladder conditions, jaundice
T5 Liver, solar plexus, general circulation Blood pressure problems, liver problems, arthritis, poor circulation

Dr Roger Asks some important questions of interest to Vancouver residents - Chiropractor Vancouver Dr Roger Asks...

How do you "catch" a cold?
Simply lower your resistance by avoiding the proper rest and exercise, eating lots of sugar and junk food, putting up with emotional stress and neglecting your nervous system by avoiding your chiropractor. You won't have to catch a cold because it will catch you!
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Vancouver folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
