The brain stem is an extension of the brain which joins the brain to the spinal cord. It is located at the top of the neck. This area of the central nervous system controls all of the body's automatic functions, e.g. breathing, blood circulation, digestion, elimination, sexual activity, and posture (Body Balance). Hence, if the head and neck structures misalign around the brain stem , thus compressing it, the misalignment creates a global postural distortion we call Body Imbalance. This misalignment can negatively effect physical, emotional, and even mental performance. The patient suffering from any disease process due to body imbalance would never think that there is neurological interference at the brain stem level since there are no pain sensory fibers inside one's central nervous system to feel the brain stem pressure.

Again, Brain Stem compression (Body Imbalance) can restrict or distort the transmission of messages that govern the thousands of functions that keep our bodies operational. If the imbalance is not corrected, the long term effect is degeneration of that part of the body serviced by these restricted messages - causing mild to severe pain, lowered resistance to illness, organ dysfunction, loss of mobility in the limbs and ultimately disease.
