How do I know if I have Subluxations?

Because subluxations can be asymptomatic, show no symptoms, most people don’t even know that they have it.

Like the early stages of tooth decay, subluxation can be present before any symptoms appear.  The early detection of subluxations can prevent unnecessary pain and decrease of health.

A thorough consultation and examination can detect the chronicity, severity, and location of spinal subluxations.  Give us a call at #948-8722 for your initial visit to check the health your spine.

What is a Subluxation?

A vertebral subluxation is an area of the spine that is misaligned placing detrimental pressure upon the spinal cord and/or the spinal nerves that are transmitting life signal to a from the brain.

Subluxations are a response to daily stress that we all endure.  Physical, mental/emotional, or chemical stress can all affect the body and disturb the communication of the nervous system, thus causing pain and decreasing the overall function of the body.

Subluxations can be the underlying cause of many common problems such as neck/back pain, headaches, sciatica, and trouble sleeping.

A thorough consultation and examination by a chiropractor can locate these damaging subluxations.  Once detected the chiropractic adjustment focuses on correcting subluxations and reducing the pressure upon the nervous system.  Click on the Spinal Chart heading and learn more about how subluxations of different areas of the spine can result in specific symptoms!

How do I get Subluxations?

Subluxations, spinal misalignments placing pressure upon the nervous system, are caused by stress.

There are three basic types of stress that can cause subluxations.

1. Physical stress – two types of physical stress are trauma and repetitive stress.

Trauma includes slips and falls, motor vehicle accidents, sporting injuries, and improper lifting.

Repetitive stress includes improper sleeping positions, poor posture and ergonomics.

2. Mental and Emotional stress includes anger, depression, anxiety, etc., which the body tends to hold stress in certain areas of the body.

3. Chemical stress include what we’re exposed to and what we put into our body.  Thing like alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet can be chemical causes of vertebral subluxations.

We are subjected to an on-the-go, hectic lifestyle.  This stress subjects us to subluxations on a regular basis.

Give us a call today at #948-8722 for a consultation and examination to check the health of your spine and the presence of subluxations.

How does Chiropractic work?

Your body is a self-maintaining, self-healing organism.  The body strives to function and heal at 100% of its effort, 100% of the time.

It does this by way of your nervous system.

Your nervous system consist of the brain, the spinal cord, and the spinal nerves.  The brain is the master controller, which sends and receives all of the life signals to and from the body.  Life messages travel down the spinal cord, which is housed in the spine.  At each level of the spine, the spinal cord gives way to the nerves, which travels to every muscle, organ, gland, blood vessel, and every part of your skin.

Spinal misalignments caused by trauma and daily stress place damaging pressure upon the nerves and spinal cord.  An increase of pressure upon the nerves results in not only pain, but a decrease of life signals to and from the body, thus interfering with proper function and healing.

Chiropractic focuses on restoring the alignment of the spine in order to reduce and minimize the detrimental pressure.  This results in reducing pain, increase function, and optimal healing.

Call us today at #948-8722 for your first visit to check your nervous system and spinal alignment.
