Subluxation Explained

What is a Subluxation and what does it do
to me?

In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral
Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of
your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and
create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal
nerves are the nerves that come out from between
each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or
irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to
malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling
over those nerves.

How does this affect you?  Your nervous system
controls and coordinates all the functions of your
body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over
nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper
nerve messages and will not be able to function at
100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some
part of your body will not be working properly.

It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and
reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments
specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine.
Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the
experts at correcting subluxations.
