WHAT IS A SUBLUXATION?

1. Subluxation is a term used in the chiropractic field to describe what happens when one of the vertebrae in your spine moves out of position and creates pressure and stress on the spinal nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding muscles. The word "subluxation" is derived from the Latin words meaning somewhat or slightly (sub) and to dislocate (luxate).
2. Subluxations interfere and partially block your brains vital messages to your organs and body(like a disconnected safety pin). When your organs and body receive less than optimal healing information from the brain they begin to silently malfunction (just like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and cavities, develop silently in your body for years - the latest research from the American Heart Association show it takes 20-25 years of slowly clogging your arteries before you will finally have a heart attack. The first symptom for 42% of all heart attack victims is often the heart attack itself and that can be deadly. The American Cancer Association latest research show it takes 7-15 years of a cancerous tumor developing in your body before the newest most sophisticated machines CT Scan, MRI, Sonogram will detect them. It takes 2 1/2 years of a cavity destroying your teeth until you feel a toothache). By then it's to late.
3. By the time you feel symptoms (headaches, neck pain or back pain,etc.) your subluxations have probably been there for months or yearsand may have created permanent damage.

WHAT CAUSES SUBLUXATION?

Any outside stress which is greater than the bodiesinternal resistance can cause subluxation.

1. TRAUMA (physical stress)- car accidents, slips & falls, sudden jarring movements, Repetitive actions such as improper sleeping position, overloaded backpacks, improper computer ergonomics, video games/TV, incorrect lifting, and even the BIRTH process can cause Subluxation that leads to problems such as carpal tunnel or neck, upper back, or low back pain.
2. THOTS (mental stress) - due to emotional situations, work, kids, finances, everyday life can cause the muscles and ligaments to tighten resulting in Subluxation.
3. TOXINS(chemical stress)- things like sugar, food preservatives, pesticides, environmental pollutants, Medication(OTC & RX), some herbal supplements can upset the delicate body chemistry balance causing a change in muscle and ligament tone which results in Subluxation.
