Subluxation - when nerve messages are disturbed
Subluxation - when nerve messages are disturbed
Subluxations are changes in the alignment of the vertebrae but also skull and pelvis which lead to irritation, insufficiency or pressure on the central nervous system and peripheral nerves.
Existing subluxations can affect the musculoskeletal system and all organs throughout the body. As a result pain and dysfunction can occur. However subluxations often do not produce symptoms for years. Chiropractic restores the nerve function so that the communication within the body can work properly again and the organs are able to reach their full health potential.
Do you have back pain, digestive problems, ringing in the ears or heart problems? Or do you just want to do something good for your body?

How do subluxations develop?
Subluxations can be caused by physical stress (e.g. bad posture, accidents), chemical stress (e.g. smoking, chemicals in food and cosmetics) and mental-emotional stress (e.g. burnout, grieving) when the body has exhausted its ability of adaptation to these stressors.
Which symptoms are possible?
Subluxations always lead to malfunction and disturbed coordination of the involved organs. However since the body has an enormous ability to compensate, specific symptoms are often not recognisable for a long time (up to years). Depending on the affected part of the nervous system eventually a variety of symptoms are possible such as:
Internal organs (70% of the nervous system) for example:
Pseudo-angina pectoris
Reflux
Reduced immune response
Muscles (20% of the nervous system) for example:
Muscle weakness
Muscle tension
Sensation (10% of the nervous system) for example:
Tingling, numbness of the skin
Pain (joints, back, migraines, etc.)
Subluxations should always be corrected regardless of whether symptoms are present or not.
