What is a subluxation?

The word "subluxation" comes from the Latin words meaning "to dislocate" (luxate) and "somewhat or slightly" (sub). A subluxation means a slight dislocation (misalignment) or biomechanical malfunctioning of the vertebrae (bones of the spine). These disturbances may irritate nerve roots and blood vessels which branch off from the spinal cord between each of the vertebrae. This irritation may cause pain and dysfunction in muscle, lymphatic and organ tissue as well as imbalance in the normal body processes.  Since the Nervous System (brain and spinal cord) control all body functions (tissues, organs, cells, immune system, muscles, etc) any irriation to it can prevent your body from healing and regulating properly.  

Causes of SUBLUXATION include 3 major kinds of stress - 1) Physical (accidents, falls, traumas, holding a phone between the shoulder and ear, backpacks, purses, sports, etc);  2) Emotional (bad relationships, stress, work, etc);  3) Biochemical (medications, prescription medications, environmental, nutritional) stresses.
