What is Subluxation?
CAUSES
Three Types of Stress
Physical Stress
Motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, slip and fall injuries, and the process of birth. Up to 70 pounds of pressure are exerted on the newborn's head and neck, causing serious subluxations.
Chemical Stress
Chemical pollutants in our environment, drugs, alcohol and a poor diet can irritate and hinder the optimal function of the nervous system, causing negative chemical imbalances.
Emotional Stress
Long lineups, traffic jams, family and marital problems build tension in muscles and joints, leading to headaches, spinal pain, high blood pressure and anxiety attacks.
Optimal Health & Healing
Optimal health and healing starts with providing the body the best possible environment to grow and develop in. Doctors of chiropractic are primary health care practitioners who believe in wellness or a preventive lifestyle. Whether it is physical, chemical or emotional stress, which is placed on the nervous system, the outcome is negative. Vertebral subluxation will develop, causing further nerve interference. Whenever the nervous system is interfered with, the connection between brain and body is impaired, and there may be malfunction of any cell, tissue or organ of the body.
