So What Exactly Is Subluxation?
April 13, 2010
Subluxation is specifically what chiropractors are highly trained to treat. It simply means that there’s a misalignment of the spinal bones, and that results in your nerves getting choked or irritated. When nerves are unbalanced, your body can malfunction.
How do you know if you have a misalignment of your spine? It can be impossible to detect on your own. Like the early stages of tooth decay, heart disease, or cancer, subluxations can be present before warning signs appear.
Unfortunately, you can’t tell if you have a subluxation by how you feel – you need to get checked regularly by a chiropractor. Even we have our own spines looked at on a regular basis!
What causes subluxation? Misalignment of the spinal bones can actually happen at birth when your head and neck are strained and twisted. As you grow and age, other factors that can cause subluxation include poor sleeping habits, bad posture, strenuous exercise, sports injuries, stress, tension & anxiety, chemical exposure (i.e. drugs and medications), injuries at work, automobile accidents, and stumbles and falls.
