Subluxation and Stress

Stress management image.

You often hear the expression "subluxation" in our practice – but do you really know what it means? More important - do you know what causes it?

Subluxation occurs when one or more of your spinal bones (vertebrae) lose their proper position and compromise the function of nearby spinal nerves and soft tissues. This pressure causes the nerves to lose their ability to work properly and affects the parts of the body that they control. Bottom line - your body cannot fully function because the affected nerves cannot send (or receive) signals from the brain and carry them to the affected body part.

What causes subluxation? There are a variety of physical, chemical and emotional stresses. Some physical stressors include:

  • Birth process
  • Injury from a fall
  • Poor posture
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Improper rest
  • Shoveling or raking
  • Extreme sports
  • Car accidents
  • Obesity
  • Inherited spinal condition

Chiropractors are specifically trained to locate and reduce subluxation. We do this by delivering specific spinal adjustments that help your body restore proper spinal biomechanics and “right” itself.

Regular chiropractic care helps maintain the integrity of your spine and nervous system, and allows us the opportunity to reduce subluxation and make sure your body can perform the way it was designed.

How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Southport encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
How do most people deal with subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Southport chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
