True, vertebral subluxation complexes have not received the press that say, AIDS, cancer, cholesterol or heart disease have. However, vertebral subluxation complexes are just as important and are often the underlying cause of a wide variety of health problems.
There are three basic causes of vertebral subluxation complexes. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions, and improper lifting. Stress, anger and fear are examples of emotional causes. Alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet can be chemical causes.
The primary form of care to reduce vertebral subluxation complexes is a schedule of chiropractic adjustments. By applying a specific and precise force, in the right direction and at the right time, over time, changes in the position and motion of spinal bones can be made.
You can have vertebral subluxation complexes and not even know it. Like the early stages of tooth decay or cancer, vertebral subluxation complexes can be present before warning signs appear. The results of a thorough examination can show the location and severity of any vertebral subluxation complexes you may have.
Sometimes. Today’s hectic lifestyles are a constant source of vertebral subluxation complexes. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When vertebral subluxation complexes don’t resolve, you’ll want to see a chiropractor for an adjustment!
