Subluxation is a term used to describe a spinal misalignment that can impact your overall health. When a vertebrae moves out of its normal position (becomes misaligned) and creates pressure on the nervous system, this is referred to as a subluxation. Subluxations can be caused by a variety of issues ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident or any sudden trauma. When a vertebrae is subluxated, it begins to put pressure on nerves, blood vessels and everything around it. This pressure comes with a price. The subluxation interrupts the natural pathways that the messages sent from the brain need to be clear in order to be completed properly.
The longer a subluxation remains untreated, the greater the chance the surrounding discs can begin to degenerate. This degeneration becomes more difficult to reverse as time goes by as the surrounding muscles, nerves and bones begin to adjust to the new shape. The body is an amazing machine. It will start to accommodate these changes by compensating in other areas. The longer this goes on, the more difficult it is and the longer it takes to get back to proper position.
