What is a “subluxation” and how do I know if I have one?
A subluxation is a misalignment of the bones that house and protect the spinal cord. Any misalignment puts unnecessary pressure on the nerve system and damages the nerve supply to different parts of the body. Vertebral subluxations that are left undetected and unadjusted for many years can lead to symptoms of pain, diseases, and an unhealthy expression of life. It’s not easy to know when you have a subluxation, although a pain of some kind can be an indication. Abnormal posture including one shoulder higher than the other, hips not level or a head forward past the shoulders can also be indicative of a subluxation. Often, the nerves that are negatively affected because of the misalignment in the spine do not carry pain signals. This means that you can suffer from subluxations for years without any painful warning signs. However, allowing subluxations to exist in your body can negatively impact the functions of the organs in your body, which leads to a deterioration of your health.

A subluxation refers to the improper position of the vertebrae that creates pressure or irritates the spinal nerves. You can have a subluxation without knowing its there. Subluxations can be present long before warning signs even appear. Common symptoms of a subluxation are headaches, neck or back pain, and tingling or numbness in the extremities. However, symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, fatigue, ear infections, a decreased immune system and more can indicate subluxations in the spine. A thorough exam by a Chiropractor can tell you the location and severity of the subluxation.
