VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION FACT SHEET
1. What is a vertebral subluxation?
A vertebral subluxation is an interference with the ability of your brain to properly control your body chemistry. It is the job of the brain and spinal cord to control body chemistry by regulating the production of chemicals made by the glands inside your body. A vertebral subluxation interferes with this process by impinging on the spinal cord or one of its exiting nerves.
2. What damage does a subluxation do?
A subluxation interferes with the delicate balance of your body chemistry. Once your body chemistry is imbalanced, your body loses its ability to function the way it should. Your ability to resist disease is lowered, you are subject to mood swings, you lose your inborn ability to adapt properly to your environment, you don't feel as well as you should, even mental processes are affected. A vertebral subluxation stops you from being the person you should be.
3. Can I have a vertebral subluxation and not feel a thing?
Yes. Vertebral subluxations hurt only in rare instances. Most of the time they cannot be felt. Research has shown that up to 60% of nerve function can be altered without you feeling anything. The only way for you to know if you have a subluxation is to get your spine examined by a trained Chiropractor.
4. Are subluxations common?
Yes. Unless you are getting checked regularly by a chiropractor, you probably have one or more subluxations. Subluxations are extremely common.
5. What diseases or types of pain do subluxations cause?
Subluxations interfere with the ability of your body to maintain its own chemistry, so subluxations lower your resistance to all diseases, including heart disease and cancer, but they do not necessarily cause a particular disease. They also lower the ability of your body to recover from all types of disease. So we are not treating your disease or pain, we are correcting your subluxations so that your body can work at its best, at peak levels of performance.
