Vertebral
Subluxation
Complex
Instead of treating your symptoms, your chiropractor is
primarily
interested in detecting, reducing, and preventing
the Vertebral Subluxation
Complex.

A subluxation, or more precisely, the vertebral
subluxation complex,
describes what happens when spinal bones lose
their normal position and
motion from stress, trauma, or chemical
imbalances

Automobile accidents, improper lifting, alcohol,
emotional stress, chemical
imbalances, and long periods of sitting can cause
the
vertebral subluxation complex.
The Vertebral Subluxation Complex is the underlying cause of many healthcare problems.

This Is A Serious Condition
Identified By Its Five Parts
Spinal
Kinesiopathology:
This is fancy way of
saying the bones of the
spine have lost their
normal
motion and position. It
restricts your ability to
turn and bend. It sets in
motion the other four
components.
Neuropathophysiology:
Improper spinal function
can choke, stretch, or
irritate delicate nerve
tissue. The resulting
nerve system
dysfunction can cause
symptoms elsewhere
in the body.
Myopathology:
Muscles supporting the
spine can weaken,
atrophy, or become tight
and go into
spasm. The resulting
scar tissue changes
muscle tone, requiring
repeated
spinal adjustments.
Histopathology:
A rise in temperature
from an increase in
blood and lymph
supplies result in
swelling and
inflammation. Discs can
bulge, herniate, tear, or
degenerate.
Other soft tissues may
suffer permanent
damage.
Pathophysiology:
Bone spurs and other
abnormal bony growths
attempt to fuse
malfunctioning
spinal joints. This spinal
decay, scar tissue, and
long-term nerve
dysfunction can cause
other systems of the
body to malfunction.
