People Ask These Common Questions about Vertebral Subluxations

When any vertebra in your spine is misaligned, it can pinch nerves and cause other problems. Vertebral misalignments are called subluxations. Even if vertebrae are slightly out of alignment, they can hurt. You may not feel pain initially, but if not corrected, vertebral subluxations eventually lead to health problems.

There are 5 components to vertebral subluxation complex—all of them must be corrected for complete healing.

The most common causes of subluxation include:
  • Injury to the spinal structure (trips, falls, car accident injuries like whiplash, sports injuries, etc.)
  • Poor posture and ergonomic habits (repetitively incorrect spinal positioning)
  • Poor nutrition and hydration can negatively impact the spine’s supportive structures like discs
  • Stress can impact posture and attention, leading to injury
Every patient is an individual, and one or more of these causes can lead to subluxations and overall lack of health and wellness.

Symptoms of Subluxations

Symptoms can vary widely depending on which vertebrae are affected and which nerves they pinch. But some of the most common symptoms include:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Sciatica
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Spinal muscle spasms
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Chronic inflammation
