How do I know if I have a subluxation or fixations?
Like the early stages of heart disease or tooth decay, subluxations can be present before warning signs or symptoms appear. You can have subluxations and not even know it. Since a subluxation or fixation is a decrease or absence of normal joint movement, chiropractors can detect this abnormal movement by using their hands to palpate or test the movement (or lack of it) in your joints during your examination. X-rays may also provide critical information about your spines structure, any degenerative processes that might be present, abnormal curves, and other spinal conditions that can affect your well being.
