Vertebral Subluxations

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

It has been established in health care that the most important system we have is our nervous system, which also dictates our health. Because of this, we must look at anything that may block the nerve supply to our bodies.

Definition of Vertebral Subluxations

Subluxations are the main cause of insufficient nerve supply to the body. They occur when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) become misaligned and put pressure on the spinal nerves. This pressure generates abnormal nerve flow to our body parts and leads to abnormal body function. The end result is abnormal health.

Who Has Subluxations?

Subluxations are caused from physical, mental/emotional, and chemical stresses. Since many types of stresses surround every living person on a daily basis, it becomes logical that every living person has the potential for creating subluxations. Checking for vertebral subluxations is a part of health care for every person. Here are some examples of each type of stressors:

• Physical stresses: car accidents, posture, physical labour, sedentary jobs, falling, and difficult birth
• Mental/Emotional stresses: emotional stress, anxiety, death in the family, fast-paced lifestyle, change in job, and change in living situation
• Chemical stresses: cigarette smoke, poor diet, being close to cleaning solutions or paint fumes, medications, lack of fresh air

Health and Wellness

Subluxations make us operate below our full power. It interferes with our body’s wisdom, or innate intelligence. People who live their lives without taking care of the subluxations they have developed, live a life that leads to many more health problems. Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well. One apparent reality with subluxations is that if taken care of, a person can live a healthier and longer life.

Life without Subluxations

However, it is never too late for a person to be checked for subluxations. Even the elderly who are checked and undergo a plan to correct their subluxations experience their following years to be filled with superior health. Many health related problems either leave or are dramatically reduced. Chiropractic wellness care patients may breathe easier, go to the toilet easier, have less pain, more mobility, an increase in energy throughout the day, sleep better and many other improvements in quality of life.

Remember, it is never too late to get your spine and nervous system checked.
