What is Subluxation?

In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the 24 bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling through those nerves.

Subluxations are commonly caused by stress from poor posture, poor sleeping habits, slips and falls, auto accidents, sports impacts, strenuous exercise, work injuries, childhood falls, medication and sub

stance abuse, and even the birth process.

How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly.
