| What is a Subluxation and what does it do to me? |
FIRST, THE SIMPLE EXPLANATION!
NOW THE DETAILED EXPLANATION!
Subluxation, (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation Complex) is when one
or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of
position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal
nerves come out from both sides and between each of the bones
in your spine. This pressure or irritation causes those nerves to
malfunction and interfere with the signals they carry. It could be
compared to a distorted signal on your cell phone.

How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and
coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the
signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the
proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100%
of their innate abilities. In other words, many parts of your body
may not be work properly. It is the responsibility of the Doctor of
Chiropractic to locate these subluxations, and reduce or correct
them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments.
Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of
training to be the experts at correcting subluxations.

Subluxations are really a combination of changes going on at the same time. These changes occur both
in your spine and throughout your body. For this reason chiropractors often refer to vertebral subluxations
as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex", or "VSC" for short.
In the VSC, various things are happening inside your body simultaneously. These various changes,
known as "components," are all part of the vertebral subluxation complex. Chiropractors commonly
recognize five categories or components present in the VSC. These five are:

These five VSC components can lead to Biochemical Abnormalities. These chemical changes can be
slight or massive, depending on what parts of your body are effected by subluxation.

Chiropractors have known about the dangers of subluxations for over one hundred years. Today, more
scientific evidence is showing the dangers of subluxations and the health benefits of correcting them. To
be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from subluxations.
Our goal is to allow your body to return itself to the highest level of health possible by correcting VSC.

Spinal Kinesiopathology (Abnormal motion or position of spinal bones) - is where the bones of the
spine become stuck, don't move enough, or move too much. This can restrict your ability to turn and
bend. It sets in motion the other four components.

Neuropathophysiology (Abnormal nervous system function) - nerves can become overexcited and
hyperactive. Misalignment causes abnormal spinal function which can choke, stretch or irritate the
delicate tissue of the spinal cord and nerves. This nervous system dysfunction commonly causes
symptoms elsewhere in the body. Research has shown that only a small amount of pressure on
spinal nerves can have a profound impact on the function of the nerves.

Myopathology (Abnormal muscle function) -The muscles that support the spine can become weak or
tight and waste away. Since the muscles help hold the vertebrae in place, and since nerves control
the muscles themselves, muscles are an integral part of any VSC. The resulting change in muscle
tone can cause chronic misalignment requiring repeated spinal adjustments.

Histiopathology (Abnormal soft tissue function) - inflammation and swelling due to an injured disc
accompany the accumulation of blood and other body fluids causing a rise in temperature. This
means the tendons, ligaments, blood supply and other soft tissues to suffer permanent damage.

Pathophysiology (Abnormal function of the spine and body) - when there is trauma to a joint, one of
the ways your body responds is the stabilization of the area by forming new bone! With time, calcium
deposits build up, eventually as abnormal bony growth and bone spurs. This arthritic 'splinting' of
bones is nature's attempt to stabilize the injured joint. If left uncorrected the affected joint will fuse.
