SUBLUXATIONS - What are they and what can they do to you?

Vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the spine (bones out of place).  It's a term commonly used by chiropractors to describe signs and symptoms of problems within the spinal column. It's a dysfunctional biomechanical spinal segment or lesion and the dysfunction may actively alter neurological function.  This, in turn, may lead to neuromusculoskeletal pain and other visceral disorders.

In simple terms, a subluxation is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position.  This then can create pressure on or otherwise irritate your spinal nerves, which are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. The pressure or irritation on the nerves can cause them to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over them.

Chiropractic physicians locate subluxations and can help to correct or reduce them, thereby minimizing or eliminating pain or discomfort.  We do this through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors undergo years of specialized training to locate, treat and correct subluxations.
