What is a Subluxation?
A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that causes nerve pressure. Misaligned vertebrae in the back (the lumbar vertebrae) or in the neck (the cervical vertebrae) can be the cause of a number of different health issues, beyond just back pain and headaches. Many times, a subluxation has been present for a long time before we start having symptoms such as pain, sickness or disease. The only way to fix a subluxation is through a chiropractic adjustment.
Why do Spinal Misalignments Happen?
Subluxations or spinal misalignments can come from physical, emotional or chemical causes. Auto accidents, slips and falls, poor posture or repetitive motions are all physical causes while stress can be an emotional cause of subluxations. Your lifestyle choices include drugs, alcohol and a poor diet can also be chemical causes of subluxations.
