What is subluxation?
Vertebral subluxations are a spinal malfunction that occurs in the normal course of daily living. As the spinal segments shift out of their normal alignment, the hard bones injure the very nerves they were designed to protect, exerting pressure that slowly interferes with your nerves’ normal energy flow. While subluxations can result in pain, quite often they do not, and, if left uncorrected over a period of time, they can disrupt your nerves system’s normal function of relaying vital nerve impulses to essential body parts.
What causes subluxations?
A fall, injury, trauma, improper sleeping habits, poor posture, obesity, stress and more.
Could my pain be a helpful sign?
Yes! Those pains you may have been hiding with Pills, injections and creams are really trying to tell you something. Pain is not the problem. Pain is your body’s alarm system. It alerts you when something is interfering with your health. By ignoring the cause of your pain, you could be inviting severe consequences, possible long term effects include spinal joint degeneration, nerve damage or organ problems that may not become evident for a long time.
