What is a Subluxation?
The spine is susceptible to trauma. Falls, accidents, sports injuries, physical abuse, postural strain and other forms of trauma cause tearing of the soft tissues. These may include even seemingly minor traumas, such as low-speed car accidents, falling off the bunk bed, landing on the neck on the trampoline and complicated childbirth. The soft tissues, now unable to perform their function properly, allow distortions to arise in the spine. When the spine becomes distorted or misaligned, its contents are compressed, twisted, and/or stretched. This action damages sensitive nerve fibers and interferes with their function of carrying impulses between the brain and the body. Nerve interference created by misaligned spinal vertebra is known as a SUBLUXATION. All tissues on the ends of the damaged nerves begin to malfunction. Without being able to effectively communicate their needs to the brain and receive its response, organs and other tissues enter into a state of disrepair and dis-ease. Th
Often times you can have a subluxation and not even know it. They can be present before you have obvious symptoms, like the progression of tooth decay. The best thing for you and your family is to be checked in our office with a thorough examination for the presence and severity of subluxations. After being adjusted you may find you are able to listen to your body and know when you are in need of future care.
A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that interferes with your nerves. It can create disease, lowered resistance to disease, pain, imbalance, fatigue, and can pave the way for ill health. Subluxations can manifest as decreased range of motion, tingling, numbness, muscle spasm, and “knots” in the muscles. They may also cause pain elsewhere in the body; for example, headaches, stomach pain, digestive complaints, breathing difficulty, menstrual cramps, sinus/allergy trouble, etc.
