A sublixation can “pinch” or irritate your spinal cord, nerve roots and/or spinal nerves.

Research reveals the subluxation involves structural distortions that affect brain and nerve function.

What Does The Subluxation Do?
Subluxations cause body malfunction (dis-ease) which results in lowered resistance to disease, pain, imbalance and fatigue and can pave the way for ill health in almost any part of the boxy. Subluxations are sometimes referred to as “silent killers” because they can slowly eat away at your health and vitality for years without your knowing it. Subluxation damage includes the following components.

1. Joint damage (kinesiopathology) your structure is misaligned. You may not be able to turn your head, hips or other body parts around equally well or as far as possible (reduced range of motion). you may have “noisy joints”.
2. Nerve damage (neuropathology) Thre is stress on your nerves. Chemicals and messages that flow over the nerves may be blocked. you may feel nothing or there may be pain and other symptoms.
3. Muscle damage (myopathology) your muscles are tight, in spasm, weak, overly sensitive and/or sore. Your posture is unbalanced, resulting in fatigue and increased joint wear and tear.
4. Tissue damage (histopathology) You have tender “trigger points” or painful spots. Ligaments, cartilage, discs, tendons and internal organs may be affected resulting in osteoarthritis or spinal degeneration.
5. Overall body malfunction (pathophysiology) Eventually long-standing subluxations cause your muscles, joints, ligaments and organs to show signs of wear and tear, premature aging, fatigue, less resistance to disease and lack of physical and mental vitality. Internal organ disease, spinal degeneration and disc herniation may occur after years of subluxation damage.

What Causes Subluxations?
Subluxations are caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, birth stress and other trauma or by bad posture or even by emotional stress. Infants and children need to have ther spines checked by a doctor of chiropractic as neurological and other health problems have been traced to spinal damage at birth or in infancy.

Correcting Subluxations
Nearly everyone has subluxations at one time or another. It is sometimes said that if you suffer from neck and back pain you’re lucky, you are aware of a problem and will (hopefully) go to a doctor of chiropractic for a checkup. The chiropractor will not only check the areas in pain, but will throw in a “bonus” and check your entire body for subluxations, even the areas that don’t hurt.

Benefits Of Chiropractic
Various studies have revealed the effects and benefits of subluxation correction. In addition to pain reduction, chiropractic patients also experience significant improvements in overall physical health and mental/emotional health. They report sleeping better and improvements in lifting, walking, standing, sex life, social life and ability to travel. The benefits of chiropractic care were found in all age groups.
