Understanding Subluxation: How Chiropractic Care Can Help
What is Subluxation?
Subluxation refers to a misalignment of the spine that can interfere with nerve function, leading to pain, stiffness, and a range of health issues. When the vertebrae are not properly aligned, it can create pressure on the nervous system, affecting your body's ability to communicate effectively with itself.
While subluxations can be minor, they often contribute to chronic pain, poor posture, and decreased mobility if left untreated. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a natural and effective way to correct these misalignments and restore overall well-being.
What Causes Subluxation?
Subluxation can occur due to various factors, including:
✅ Poor posture – Sitting at a desk all day, hunching over screens, or improper sleeping positions can lead to spinal misalignment.
✅ Injuries and trauma – Car accidents, sports injuries, or even small repetitive movements can shift vertebrae out of place.
✅ Stress and tension – Emotional and physical stress cause muscles to tighten, pulling the spine out of alignment.
✅ Lack of movement – A sedentary lifestyle weakens muscles, making the spine more vulnerable to misalignments.
Symptoms of Subluxation
Subluxations don’t always cause pain right away, but they can lead to:
🔹 Neck and back pain
🔹 Stiffness and limited range of motion
🔹 Headaches and migraines
🔹 Numbness or tingling in the arms and legs
🔹 Fatigue and decreased energy levels
How Chiropractic Care Corrects Subluxation
Chiropractors specialize in detecting and correcting subluxations through gentle spinal adjustments. These adjustments help:
✔️ Restore proper spinal alignment
✔️ Relieve nerve pressure and inflammation
✔️ Improve mobility and flexibility
✔️ Enhance the body’s natural healing processes

The Connection Between Subluxation and Overall Health
Since the nervous system controls every function in the body, a spinal misalignment can lead to more than just pain—it can disrupt digestion, weaken the immune system, and even contribute to stress and anxiety. By addressing subluxations, chiropractic care supports whole-body wellness.
