SUBLUXATIONS

Subluxations are interferences or disturbances in our nervous system that interrupt the normal communication pathways in our body. There are two types of Subluxations. The first type is called the Structural Subluxation. A structural Subluxation is when a vertebrae misaligns, the distortion can either compress, pinch, a nerve or stretch and pull the nerve. Studies show that the weight of a dime is all the pressure it takes to decrease the function of a nerve by as much as 60%. Studies also reveal that a 6% stretch of the nerve decreases its function by 70%. It is known that it doesn’t take much pressure or pulling on the nerve to severely interfere with its normal function. These Subluxations are usually caused by physical stress or trauma.

The second type of Subluxation occurs when the nervous system is interfered with by emotional stress or chemical toxins. When the nervous system becomes overwhelmed by these factors and causes an imbalance in how our nervous system performs. When the motor nerve (the nerve controlling the muscles) is imbalanced it causes the muscle on one side of the spine to contract harder than the other, misaligning the vertebrae. The misalignment further interferes with the nerve creating a repeating neurologic pattern. These types of Subluxations can exist for years and go unnoticed. Studies tell us that both types of Subluxations can exist without pain yet still interfere and disturb nerve overall function.
