Subluxation Treatment in Greer, SC
What is Vertebral Subluxation?
Subluxation, which is oftentimes referred to as vertebral subluxation, occurs when the spine becomes misaligned and obstructs nerve flow. This can compromise movement and can lead to many unwanted health problems that people suffer with regularly. Subluxation can cause a wide range of negative effects on the body, such as nerve flow obstruction, disc degeneration, bone spurs, as well as changes in the ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Most frequently, subluxation occurs in the neck, mid back lower back, or hip bones, but can occur in other joints as well. Some common symptoms associated with subluxation can include neck pain, low back pain, headaches, sciatica or leg pain, shoulder or arm pain, decreased mobility, muscle spasms or tenderness, and inflammation. Since having subluxations can potentially impair natural nerve function and compromise the body’s ability to maintain optimal health, it is important to have your spine evaluated to see how chiropractic might help improve the nerve flow which may result in better functioning of the nervous system.
What Causes Vertebral Subluxation?
Subluxation is caused by a wide range of traumas and stresses. Physical trauma as well as emotional stress, physical stress, and chemical stress, are just a few of the daily occurrences that can cause subluxation. Subluxation can be caused by car accidents, sitting for too long, alcohol or drug abuse, poor posture, repetitive motions, sports injuries, improper lifting, and more. Poor diet and nutrition can also be contributing factors to vertebral subluxation.
