Subluxations
Subluxations are probably the most common
conditions treated by Chiropractors.
Subluxations happen when vertebrae get out
of alignment which can lead to a number of
different health problems if left untreated.
The vertebrae protect your spinal chord
which is the main transmitter of messages
from your brain to the rest of your body.
Subluxations can disrupt the flow of those
messages by obstructing the nerves’ ability
to effectively transmit messages. When the
brain is not permitted to communicate
effectively with the rest of the body, it
can lead to less than optimal organ function
which, in turn, can lead to an overall less
healthy body.
Subluxations can be caused by a number of
different things that you do on a regular
basis and may not even be aware that they
are harmful to your body. Poor posture or
ergonomics, poor diet and drug or alcohol
use can all contribute to less than optimal
spinal health. Subluxations can also be
caused by physical injury including auto,
work or sports related injuries.
Symptoms of subluxations come in many
different forms including, neck or back
pain, headaches, back spasms, joint pain,
numbness in the arms or legs, fatigue or a
general feeling of poor health. Even if you
are not suffering from any of these
symptoms, it doesn’t necessarily mean that
you wouldn’t benefit from a chiropractic
consultation. Many patients we see describe
an immediate sense of “feeling better” when
they didn’t think there was anything wrong
with them to begin with.
If you have any of these symptoms, or even
if you don’t, we would encourage you to come
in and see us. Please contact our office
today for more information.
