D.D. Palmer, the founder of Chiropractic, mentioned there were three underlying causes of subluxation, or nerve interference. This can be identified as the 3T’s. These causes continue to affect our bodies daily and contribute to many of the dysfunctions, pain or problems we experience.

Trauma (Physical)
Major trauma- Slip or falls, sporting injuries or a car accident etc
Microtrauma (repetitive stress)- Sitting Infront of the computer, using mobile phones

Toxins (Chemical)
This refers to things we put into our bodies and the substances that the body produces. Toxins are continuously filtered in and out of the body. If the filtration system isn’t working (our body) or too much toxins get consumed, inflammation accumulates. Todays diet high in sugar, processed and genetical-modified organisms doesn’t exactly promote good health. Majority of the things we consume are highly inflammatory for our bodies.

Thoughts (Emotional)
Mental stress can interfere with our body’s natural functions. A little bit stress in life in great as it makes a stronger and pushes us to be better, but chronically being in this state can lead to a negative impact on our health.
Eg: stress at work, stress at home, stress within the family etc
