Subluxation



What are subluxations?


According to the definition of the American Chiropractic Association;

Chiropractic is concerned with the preservation and restoration of health, and focuses particular attention on the subluxation. A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health. A subluxation is evaluated, diagnosed, and managed through the use of chiropractic procedures based on the best available rational and empirical evidence.

 Additional definitions include:

  • Subluxation - A motion segment in which alignment, movement integrity, and/or physiologic function are altered, although contact between joint surfaces remains intact.

  • Manipulable subluxation - A subluxation in which altered alignment, movement, and/or function can be improved by manual thrust procedures.

  • Subluxation complex - A theoretical model of motion segment dysfunction (subluxation) that incorporates the complex interaction of pathologic changes in nerve, muscle, ligamentous, vascular, and connective tissue.

  • Subluxation syndrome - An aggregate of signs and symptoms that relate to pathophysiology or dysfunction of spinal and pelvic motion segments or to peripheral joints

Pain in your back or neck or health problems in general can be caused and affected by subluxations. A subluxation can place undue stress on the intervertebral disk located between the vertebrae and irritate the adjacent spinal nerves. Under certain circumstances the normal transmission of nerve impulses to and from the spine to various organs and tissues of the body can be adversely affected. This can result in health problems.
