What is a Chiropractic Subluxation?

What is a Chiropractic Subluxation?

There are normally twenty six movable bones in the human spine. As a Chiropractor I have studied how these bones house and protect the delicate nerve tissue within them.  If these bones misalign they can put pressure on this delicate nerve tissue and interfere with the vital information that this nerve tissue transmits from the brain to the body. Research has shown that 5mm of mercury pressure on a nerve, about the weight of a dime, is enough to effect the function of the nerve. These bone misalignments result in what chiropractors call spinal subluxations.  The brain's ability to regulate and control the many functions of the body; including its cells, organs, glands, and chemistry, just to name a few, can be interfered with by these spinal subluxations. These spinal subluxations not only affect nerves and their functioning, they also interfere with the proper functioning of the inborn self-regulating mechanism of the body that helps keep the body functioning at its optimum potential. 
 
Chiropractic care utilizes spinal adjustments to correct spinal misalignments to remove nerve interference.
