A subluxation occurs when a spinal bone (vertebrae) becomes misaligned, causing compression or irritation of a spinal nerve. This results in damage and interference to the nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It controls every organ, tissue and cell in the body. It is because of this fact that subluxations cause dysfunction of organs and muscles and decreases the body’s ability to heal.
How do we get subluxations?
TRAUMAS
Falling off a ladder or getting in a car accident are sure to cause spinal misalignment that results in interference to the nervous system. Most everyone has slipped on the ice or tripped down a step. These have the potential to cause a spinal subluxation. Constant and/or minor physical forces may also result in subluxation. Things such as carrying a heavy purse or backpack, the birthing process, participating in sports, or typing at a computer at work every day. Prolonged sitting, standing or sleeping positions and repetitive motions could also be causes.
TOXINS
The body is exposed to numerous chemicals on a daily basis. These chemicals are known to alter muscle tone, and therefore muscle function. Because numerous muscles are attached to the spine, alteration in their tone disrupts proper spinal alignment. Toxins are in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the drugs we take. Not only are there external chemicals, but chemicals that are produced by the body as a result of heavy exercise, nutrient deficiency, and stress.
THOUGHTS
Society today runs at a rushed pace. There are many societal pressures and tension is an extremely common characteristic of American culture. For these reasons, emotions are a very influential factor in our health. Muscle tension as a result of stress and the body’s response to feelings of sadness, anger, or even overwhelming joy all can lead to the formation of subluxations.
