Unlocking the Secrets of Subluxation

Subluxation occurs when spinal vertebrae or bones in the extremities misalign and become fixed, obstructing nerve flow along the spinal cord, nerve roots, and peripheral branches. This can result in disc degeneration, bone spurs, and changes in the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Subluxation is the result of a misalignment in the small joints and spinal discs that connect the bones in your spine. This misalignment causes the spinal bones to shift out of their proper alignment and become fixed in this incorrect position.

Diagnosis and Assessment: Chiropractors diagnose subluxation by evaluating the spine for misalignments.
X-ray Analysis: X-rays are used to measure the extent of subluxation and assess related damage.
Customized Correction: A personalized correction plan is recommended, involving a series of spinal adjustments, specific exercises, and ergonomic/lifestyle changes.
Varied Symptoms: While some may experience neck or back pain, most subluxation cases are symptom-free.
Silent Progression: Subluxation can silently disrupt nerve flow and adversely affect various body functions.
Nervous System Connection: Many overlook subluxation as a cause of decreased function due to a lack of understanding of the spine’s impact on overall body function through the nervous system.
