What is a subluxation?
A subluxation refers to the partial misalignment of spinal vertebrae, leading to nerve interference that can disrupt the body’s communication pathways. This misalignment may result from injuries, repetitive movements, or medical conditions like degenerative disc disease. At CORE Health Centers, our chiropractic specialists excel in diagnosing and treating subluxations, crafting personalized care plans to restore your health and well-being.
Understanding Subluxation
Subluxations can manifest through various symptoms, including localized pain, tingling sensations, numbness, and muscle weakness. Beyond these physical discomforts, subluxations may impede circulation and hinder the body’s natural healing processes, potentially affecting overall health.
Common Causes of Subluxation
Several factors can lead to subluxations:
- Physical Trauma: Falls, car accidents, and sports injuries can force vertebrae out of alignment.
- Repetitive Strain: Continuous movements or poor posture over time can contribute to misalignments.
- Medical Conditions: Issues like scoliosis or osteoarthritis may predispose individuals to subluxations.
While subluxations can occur anywhere along the spine, they most frequently affect the neck and lower back. If left unaddressed, these misalignments can lead to complications such as muscle spasms and chronic pain.
Recognizing Symptoms in Different Areas
- Spinal Subluxations: May cause nerve interference, leading to pain that radiates from the injury site to other body parts, decreased range of motion, and muscle weakness.
- Shoulder Subluxations: Can result in localized pain or discomfort extending down the arm, along with reduced mobility and strength in the shoulder joint.
- Neck Subluxations: Often lead to pain that may spread to other areas, accompanied by numbness, tingling, and limited neck movement.
