Subluxation describes what happens when the spinal joints get shifted out of alignment. This can be caused by:

• Stress
• Trauma
• Chemical imbalance

The nervous system, which consists of the (spine/nerves/brain) is the central headquarters of the body. Subluxation removal helps the body function at its optimum level.

 

Chiropractic adjustments reduce pressure on the nerves and ease the flow of communication and signals going back and forth.

These adjustments trigger the release of endorphins, which cause instant pain relief. Our hips are made durable, but with age and normal wear and tear, this cartilage wears down, which can lead to injury. This also includes the:

• Muscles
• Tendons
• Bones in and around the hip

And can be caused by a number of conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis)
• Cancers
• Bursitis
• Hip fractures
• Hip labral tear
• Muscle/tendon strain
• Tendinitis

If adjustments seem to be only temporary, this could be an indicator of problems beyond the spine.

Pain or other symptoms in the body start with the body’s foundation: the feet.

When we walk, there are incremental-segmental movements of the spine that are small motions but are very important in proper function. If there are foot problems:

• Spinal subluxations
• Pain
• Degeneration throughout the body can happen.

Research has found that poor foot mechanics can create severe problems that affect the normal functions of the:

• Ankle
• Knee
• Hip
• Back

Chiropractors use specific methods to return the vertebrae to their proper locations or to allow them to go freely when subluxations happen. These techniques are called spinal manipulations or adjustments. During an adjustment, the vertebra is freed in the misaligned location and returned to the right place in the spinal column. The adjustment permits the entire body to cure and preserve homeostasis once performed.
