What is the vertebral subluxation complex?
The vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) is the condition in which a vertebra (bone in your spinal column) has lost its proper alignment in respect to the one above or the one below, or both. The result is the impingement of a nerve, which interferes with the transmission of information coming from the brain traveling to the muscles, organs, and tissues in the body. The detection, treatment, and prevention of VSC makes chiropractic unique in the health care sciences.
