What is a Subluxation?

Your brain is made up of nerve cells that organize into a thick cord of billions of nerve fibers to create your spinal cord. Your spinal cord extends down your back, protected by your spinal column, where it branches into numerous nerves that travel to various destinations in your body. This is a vast communication system over which a constant stream of messages flows to keep your body working properly.

These messages fill your brain and nerves, sending energy and information to every part of your body; muscles, bones, heart, liver, stomach, eyes, ears, blood vessels, etc. If this connection stopped, you’d quickly die. If the messages were partially blocked or altered, your body would malfunction and the result would be suffering, sickness, disease and a gradual disorganization and decline.

You can go for many weeks without food, for a week or so without water, for a few minutes without air, but not even a second without the life energy and information streaming across your nerves.

To be fully alive, you need to be fully connected. Chiropractors locate and correct subluxations, the small internal distortions that create “disconnections” in your body that interfere with your nervous system communications. Once those subluxations are corrected, the body is able to self-heal and self-regulate the way it was designed to. Simply put, chiropractic reconnects your brain and body for optimal health expression!
