What
Is A Subluxation?
 By Dr. Steve Alff, D.C.

Subluxation is a word commonly used in chiropractic
offices. But what does it
mean? After all, you’ve probably never even heard this
word before.
A
subluxation is a condition where there is a misalignment
or a loss of motion of one or more of the bones in the
spine, causing a problem with the nerve(s) in that
area. Subluxations create interference to the nerve
signals, causing the body to malfunction.
Subluxations destroy the ability of the brain and body
to properly communicate with one another, resulting in a
loss of health. They can have devastating effects on
your quality of life.
When
the nervous system is malfunctioning because of spinal
subluxations, the normal communication pathways are
interrupted and the nerve system no longer has the
ability to function properly.
Your
body performs worse at every level.
Your
immune system weakens, your strength and coordination is
negatively affected, your emotional state can be
altered, your organs may not function normally, and you
could experience a constant state of pain, stiffness,
lack of flexibility, stress, fatigue, and many other
symptoms.
Subluxations, just like cavities, cancer, and many other
diseases can start out PAINLESS.
And if
they are left uncorrected, they continue to get worse.
If you
have areas in your spine that are subluxated, and they
are interfering with the normal function of your nervous
system, you cannot have optimal health.
Because
your nervous system controls your entire body, if it
isn’t working correctly, it is impossible for your body
to be working correctly.
That’s
why having a healthy spine is so important.
It’s my
job to restore health to the areas of your spine that
have subluxations.. It’s my job to make sure your nerve
system is as healthy as possible. It’s my job to not
only get you out of pain when you hurt, but also keep
your body as healthy as possible. |
