What is a chiropractic adjustment?
When misalignments in our spine are not corrected, it can result in dysfunction within the body. The body isn’t functioning as it should because our nerves are not communicating the right information to and from the brain. With the chiropractic adjustment, the misalignments in the spine are corrected to help restore proper function to the nervous system and the whole body.
What is a subluxation?
The spine acts as the protective housing for the spinal cord, which is the main connection between the brain and the body.
When the joints in the spine become misaligned due to various stresses, this can interfere with the function of the nerves that extend from the spinal cord and control the rest of the body. When there is nerve interference, our brain can’t properly communicate with our body and vice versa.
In chiropractic, this is referred to as a subluxation.
