This chart shows some of the integral relationships between the spine, nervous system and body. For simplicity, this chart does not reflect all the structures or paths utilized in nerve transmission. *In some cases, nerve roots innervate other structures, such as nerve plexuses and ganglia which in turn supply innervations to specifid body parts. If you have questions, please ask your Doctor of Chiropractic.
