What is Subluxation?

Subluxation...

1. A misaligned spinal bone (vertebrae) which causes compression, tension, irritation, and damage to the central nervous system (the central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves and completely controls all functions of healing in the human body)

2. Causes interference of the central nervous system

3. Causes the organs, glands and muscles of the body to malfunction and heal poorly due to the interference they create in the central nervous system

Malfunction in the body and poor healing result in lowered resistance to infection, allergies, illness and disease.

Subluxations are caused by a lifetime of stress and trauma. Slips, falls, accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, bad sleeping habits, stress at work, or even childhood mishaps and the birthing process itself can cause the spinal bone to move out of its normal position.

The central nervous system totally controls all functions and healing in the body. The most common and likely way to interfere with this system is any abnormal position of the spine or subluxation (misalignment).

Symptoms are the body’s warning signals that something has been malfunctioning for some time and needs attention. In most cases, subluxation is present without symptom or warning. Usually, subluxation has existed for many years by the time a symptom arrives.

The purpose of chiropractic evaluation in our office is to find if subluxation is interfering with your central nervous system, causing malfunction. If we find subluxation on your exam, nerve tests, and/or x-ray studies, we can help you.
