Subluxation

WHAT IS VERTEBRAE SUBLUXATION?

There are 33 bones (Vertebrae) in the spine, but only 24 are moveable. Usually these joints move and function normally, but sometimes accidents, injuries, falls, poor ergonomics, repetitive traumas and etc. can cause the joints to go out of normal alignment.

When this happens, these misaligned bones will affect the nerves exiting the spine and cause pain or symptoms where those nerves go to. This is a condition called vertebral subluxation.

WHAT CAUSE VERTEBRAE SUBLUXATIONS?

Subluxations are usually the result of physical, emotional or
chemical stresses.

Physical stress: Slips and falls, accidents, unnatural birth, poor posture or unnatural / heavy loading.

Emotional stress: Stress causes the muscles to constantly tighten up, increasing the risk of muscle spasms and fatigue.

Chemical stress: Alcohol, drugs, and poor diet.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE SUBLUXATIONS?

Like tooth decay and cancer, subluxations may go unnoticed before any warning signs appear. Results of a thorough examination can show the location and severity of any subluxations that you may have. Some patients may experience a lot of pain and symptoms, others might notice bad posture, some might not have any symptoms at all!

“Before chiropractic care, my health was generally good. Occasionally I feel mild discomfort in my lower back region after my trainings and I was not able to walk for long period of time.

After going for periodic adjustment sessions, my range of motion improved. I no longer feel any discomfort in my lower back region. I truly feel recharged and whole!”
