How Can Subluxation Affect My Health?

A Subluxation is where the spine has misaligned out of its healthy position. It can cause hundreds of different health concerns that you may or may not be able to feel. Read on to discover how Subluxation could be effecting your health.

There are five levels or components of damage that our bodies experience from Subluxation.

The first level deals with the joints (vertebrae) of our spine.  If the vertebrae are out of proper alignment, it will lead to increased stress on the joints, discs and ligaments.  Subluxation or a misalignment creates a reduced range of motion in our spine and a loss of balance and posture. Our shoulders, hips, knee and feet may compensate for this postural imbalance.  Quite commonly, this creates fatigue or a loss of energy in people due to the extra energy needed for the compensation.

The second level deals with the resultant nerve damage from the vertebrae being out of alignment.  Nerves can become compressed, stretched or “pinched”.  As a result, the nerves function abnormally and lead to pain, altered internal organ function, altered behaviour and other conditions, such as Back Pain, Neck Pain, Lower Back Pain, Headaches, Sciatic Pain, Asthma, Infertility, Digestive Problems, Period Pain, Poor Immune Function, Ear Infections and much more.     Tissue damage becomes the next component on the list.  The abnormal pressures on joints and nearby soft tissues lead to swelling, soft tissue damage and many areas become painful and tender to the touch.  Unnatural wear and tear causes arthritic changes to the joints and nearby tissues.

Autopsies performed by a well known pathologist showed that all age groups had multiple “pinched nerves” (Subluxations) in their spines and the organs that were supplied by these nerves showed pathological changes.  The autopsies demonstrated the following correlation, the more serious the nerve damage the more serious the organ damage.
 
Subluxations can cause wide-ranging effects to a person’s health.  This is why the public hears about chiropractors helping people deal with many different health issues.  Since Subluxations can cause such destruction to a person’s health, every person alive needs to have a spinal check if they want to have a chance at optimal health.

Only 10% of our nervous system has the ability to feel pain. For many people they wait until 'pain' or 'symptoms' appear before thinking about their health. Unfortunately much of the damage has already occurred before they became aware.
