What Is Subluxation?

Welcome. I’m Dr. Scott Graziosa from Life Aligned Chiropractic. Today I’m going to explain this subluxation. A subluxation by definition is a misalignment in your spine that causes pressure on the nerve, decreasing the function to end organ muscles and our tissue. What we want to do as chiropractors is remove these subluxations so your body can function better a hundred percent from brain to body back to the brain.

Now this could happen at any age from infants, pregnancies, adults, kids, you name it. Subluxations occur all the time. The vertebrae shift out of place, start to choke off the nerve, and there’s decreased nerve flow to where everything goes to. Now to break this word down, the word sub means less than, lux is light, okay, and ation is condition of.

So a subluxation, in my opinion, it’s like a dimmer switch in the spine. So we want to turn that power back on by locating, detecting, and correcting subluxations. So your body can heal from inside out. Now I want to show you on the spine model here, what a subluxation can look like. So here’s your spine model looking at it from the side.

If this twist rotates over time, your vertebrae could squeeze that nerve off. What we want to do is open this up. So we want to shift that back in. If you misaligned like that, we want to shift back in. Chiropractors are highly trained to locate the subluxation, allowing your body to heal from the inside out model.

Thank you. The word of the day is subluxation.
