Disrupted Communication Can Cause All Kinds of Health Problems

Overview

Subluxation or a misalignment, short of a dislocation of the vertebrae can happen at any time to people of all ages. Regular chiropractic care is paramount for adjusting subluxations to maintain a strong spine and a healthy body.

Did you know that unnatural birth can be the first cause of subluxation?
Use of vacuum extraction and forceps commonly reach 60-80 kg of pulling force during delivery which will lead to birth trauma such as nerve damage.

Overview

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. This is a condition called vertebral subluxation.

Causes of Subluxation

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.

Treatment Plans

Regular Chiropractic Treatment

Our trained chiropractors will apply force to adjust misalignments in your spine to help relieve, reverse and resolve symptoms you are experiencing, ultimately helping you to resume your daily activities.

Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical procedure intended to relieve pressure in the targeted segment of the spine by gently stretching it to create a negative pressure in it. This stretch will allow herniated/bulging discs to retract and promote blood flow back to the discs to improve recovery. Decompression Therapy has been known to be effective for conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and nerve compression.

Hear From Others

I had tension headaches, digestive issues and fertility challenges. I came to Chiropractic First after the birth of my baby because I had acute shoulder pain. Chiropractic care has truly changed my life. I had many chiropractic adjustments and thank you to Dr. Todd for keeping me healthy.

P. Kealey

I suffered from sciatica pain and lower back pain which restricted my mobility and overall physical activities. Chiropractic treatment saved me from undergoing lower back surgery. I’m convinced that chiropractic adjustments are the right solution to subluxation issues and long term maintenance to a healthy spine. I’m staying with Chiropractic First because of the personalised solution by their chiropractors.

Buddy De Luna

I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis at the age of 13. It deteriorated over the years and I began experiencing pain and aches in my upper back and neck. I was having headaches and migraines more frequently. It has been 5 months since I started my chiropractic journey and it has brought some improvements to my health. I experience less pain and aches in my upper back now. I will be able to reach my goal of optimum health without any medication.

Jasmine Lee

Ever since my pregnancy 9 years ago, I’ve had persistent dull aches on one side of my back. I also had hives. Later, I found out I have scoliosis. Just after 1 month of chiropractic adjustments, my back aches and hives are gone. My children benefited from the adjustments too! They sleep better, no more night terrors and stuffy noses in the morning. Thank you, Chiropractic First!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Any Questions?

If you require more information, contact us and ask one of our chiropractors.

How do I know if I have subluxation?

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!

Can subluxation clear up on their own?

A Doctor of Chiropractic is the only one who is trained to correct subluxations. Structural issues like subluxation do not go away on their own, they must be physically corrected. Massages, physiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine only help with the symptoms but not the subluxations.
