A vertebral subluxation is an area of the spine that is has lost its proper alignment and is placing detrimental pressure upon the spinal nerves and/or the spinal cord that are transmitting life signals to and 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 spinal problems. Once detected the chiropractic adjustment focuses on correcting subluxations, reducing the pressure upon the nervous system, and restoring optimal healing and function.
