What Causes Subluxation

You often hear the expression "subluxation" in our office – but do you really know what it means? More important - do you know what causes it?

Subluxation occurs when one or more of your spinal bones (vertebrae) lose their proper position and compromise the function of nearby spinal nerves and soft tissues. This pressure causes the nerves to lose their ability to work properly and affects the parts of the body that they control. Bottom line - your body cannot function properly because the affected nerves cannot send (or receive) signals from the brain and carry them to the affected body part.

Improper lifting.

What causes subluxation? There is a variety of physical, chemical and emotional stresses. Some of the physical stressors include:

  • Birth process
  • Injury from a fall
  • Poor posture
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Improper rest
  • Shoveling or raking
  • Extreme sports
  • Car accidents
  • Obesity
  • Inherited spinal condition

Chiropractors are specifically trained to locate and correct subluxation. We do this by delivering specific spinal adjustments that help your body restore proper spinal biomechanics and “right” itself.

Regular chiropractic care helps maintain the integrity of your spine and nervous system, and allows us the opportunity to locate and correct subluxation and make sure your body can perform the way it was designed.

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
