What is a Subluxation?

Subluxation Degeneration image

A subluxation is a complex functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular change that compromises neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.

 

Causes of Subluxation

  1. Physical Stresses   -  birth trauma, falls, accidents, sport injuries,                                      incorrect posture, sedentary lifestyle, repetitive                                      strain, improper use/heavy backpacks and weak
                                          or imbalanced muscles.

  2. Emotional Stresses - relationship issues, loss of family member/friend,                                      employment challenges or any circumstantial                                      stresses.

  3. Chemical Stresses -  smoking, drinking excessive alcohol, drugs,                                      preservatives in food, poor diet and the                                      environment.

Warning Signs of Subluxation

In adults, signs include headaches, migraines, back pain, neck stiffness, pain in the shoulders, arms or legs, numbness and tingling, fatigue, tender muscles and/or joints, poor posture, uneven heal wear and an inability to twist or turn your head or hips to either side easily or equally. In children, some signs may include colic, poor posture, scoliosis, ear infections, allergies, asthma, digestive difficulties, headaches, growing pains, hip/leg pain or weakness and fatigue. That said, subluxation does NOT always demonstrate symptoms. Only 11% of the body's nervous system is responsible for the perception of pain and the other 89% is responsible for function and control that we are consciously not aware of. Therefore, subluxations may be presently affecting your health and well-being without any indication. The only way to definitely determine the presence of a subluxation is through a chiropractic evaluation.
