A
subluxation is a vertebra in the spine which is out of alignment
causing interference to the spinal cord or spinal nerves or both.
Furthermore, Vertebral Subluxations interfere with the vital
communication between the brain and the cells, tissues, organs of
the body, which travels over the spinal cord and spinal nerves. The
body, with Vertebral Subluxations, is more susceptible to aches,
pains, disease and an inability to function at its
optimum.
WHAT CAUSES SUBLUXATIONS?
Subluxations can be caused by three different types of stress:
1. Emotional Stress: According to research, the #1 cause of
subluxation in America today is emotional stress. Emotional stress
is often due to our lifestyle and also from pressure created from
society. Emotional stress can result from family problems,
financial difficulties and work or school related problems. It is
important to understand that emotional stress can cause tension in
your muscles, which in time can pull vertebrae(s) out of
alignment.
2. Physical Stress: Physical stress can be caused by
accidents, sports injuries, falls, other trauma, bad posture,
repeated movements that gradually wear down your body parts and
difficult birth. Although vertebral subluxations are the most
common forms of interference with nerve messages, they are by no
means the only ones. Broken bones, arthritis, tumors, direct
pressure (when your legs or arms 'go to sleep'), neurological
diseases such as muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, polio and
cerebral palsy can also damage nerves.
3. Chemical Stress: Chemical stress can be caused by
chemical addiction (drug intake) or from being over medicated or
being exposed repeatedly to industrial chemicals.
