As Chiropractors, we are experts in detecting and correcting what is called a subluxation. A subluxation is when spinal joints become jammed, like a stubbed toe, or misaligned. Subluxations occur from an accumulation of a lifetime of injuries and repetitive stress. For example:

The birth process, especially if it was a forceps or c-section delivery. This is why we are advocates of having the entire family preventatively checked for subluxation.



The backpacks that kids are carrying to school are a source of spinal stress, especially considering they are half a child’s body weight.


Sports injuries, poor posture, repetitive stress, sitting, and computer work are also sources of spinal subluxation.

And the obvious, such as car accidents are also a source of spinal injury and trauma.

Who do you know that has not been subject to any of the above???

It is our observation that it is not a matter of will the spine ever become subluxated. If you are not maintaining proper spinal alignment with regular chiropractic care, it is a matter of when will your spine become subluxated. Subluxations create the following effects:


Joint Damage
Stuck joints don’t move. This causes a wear and tear on the joint leading to arthritis as well as a reduced range of motion and postural imbalances.

Nerve Damage
An irritated nerve root can create pain, burning, stabbing and pins and needles. The same sensation can travel the length of the nerve pathway. Most importantly, this nerve irritation will set off a neurological stress pathway to the spinal cord, effecting the brain, in turn adversely effecting the entire body.

Tissue Damage
Swelling occurs to protect the joint from further injury. It also creates more pain.


Muscle Damage
Muscles become chronically spasmed causing muscle weakness.

Health Degeneration
Disease, accelerated aging, chronic fatigue, low immunity, joint degeneration, bone deformation, disc destruction and loss of height are common in a person who has subluxations.

Our focus is to detect and correct subluxations. This will alleviate neurological irritation and deficiencies, returning your body to greater state of function and health, naturally.
