Chiropractic Care

What Is a Subluxation?

A subluxation occurs when one or more bones move out of position, creating pressure or irritating the body’s nerves. Such pressure or irritation can cause interference in the signals traveling to the rest of one’s body, and may result in an inability of the body to function optimally. Subluxations can be the consequence of a single traumatic event, for example, slipping and falling, or from repetitive stress, such as sitting in an incorrect position at the computer for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function.

What Is an Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which force is applied (whether manually or with a light-force tool) to a restricted joint in order to restore motion. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct structural alignment, improve your body’s physical function, decrease pain, and relieve muscle spasm.
