What problems does a Vertebral Subluxation cause?
FAQsThe vertebral subluxation first changes your ability to turn and bend. Next, the muscles may become tight and go into spasm. The tight muscles and lack of motion directly affect the nerves exiting at each level of a spinal vertebrae (bone). This may cause symptoms to appear elsewhere in the body. As the body tries to correct the problem we often find inflammation in the area of the vertebral subluxation. The area of inflammation will be tender, swollen, warm, and perhaps red in color.
Related QuestionsWhat Is A Vertebral Subluxation?
FAQ'sIn its simplest explanation, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of their proper position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves causing those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. How does this affect you? Innate intelligence uses your nervous system to control and coordinates all the functions of your body.

F.A.Q.They surround and protect the spinal cord, which is the main "communication cable" the brain uses to send messages to and from the body. Nerves exit between each pair of vertebra. They are like wires connecting the spinal cord to the rest of the body. Vertebrae can become misaligned, due to trauma or other stresses, causing a short circuit in the nerves. This is called a vertebral subluxation. The result is interference in the communication between the brain and the body.Related Questions
