The Vertebral Subluxation Complex
​
Your nervous system is in constant communication with the rest of your body, sending signals back and forth from the brain, up and down the spinal column, and out to every cell and organ.
When these messages are interrupted by a vertebra that has lost its motion and position, this results in vertebral subluxations. This creates a domino effect on surrounding muscles, ligaments, joints and discs, ultimately leading to pain, inflammation, decreased mobility and other ailments, sometimes seemingly unrelated. In fact, subluxations can be present in the body without any symptoms at all.
Subluxations are triggered by three basic causes: physical, emotional and chemical.
