How do you get subluxations?

Subluxations are usually the result of
physical, emotional or chemical stresses.
Physical stresses might include slips and
falls, accidents, repetitive motions or
improper lifting. Emotional stress, such as
grief, anger or depression, may produce
subluxations. Alcohol, drugs or preservatives
are common examples of chemical stress.

How do I know if I have a subluxation?

You can have subluxations and not know
it. Like the early stages of tooth decay or
even cancer, subluxations can be present
without obvious symptoms. The results
of a thorough examination can reveal the
location and severity of any subluxations
you may have.

Can children get subluxations?

Yes. Learning to walk, riding a bike or
playing sports can cause subluxations
that are often passed off as mere "growing
pains." Chiropractic care helps detect
these spinal distortions and correct
them, providing a clearer path toward
proper development. Ignored, these
problems may worsen until they become
more difficult to correct as an adult.

Can subluxations clear up on their own?

Sometimes. Today's hectic lives can
be constant sources of subluxations.
Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to
self-correct many of these minor problems
as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep
at night. When subluxations don't resolve,
you need to see us for a chiropractic
adjustment!
