Subluxation Complex

Once you become a Chiropractic patient, you will hear the word “Subluxation” quite frequently.

A subluxation occurs when a joint is knocked out of alignment. This can affect the function of nerves, and have a profound affect on the body’s organs and health.

Your spine consists of 24 bones that are separated by cushions made of cartilage. Nerves pass out from the sides of each vertebra. These nerves supply energy to tissues and organs of the body. If the vertebra becomes misaligned, nerve flow to the body is diminished. This can result in pain and lead the body into a disease process.

The Doctor of Chiropractic will perform an Examination and Consultation to determine if “Subluxations” are present in your body. If subluxations are detected, you will be accepted as a Chiropractic patient.

The treatment of subluxations involves an adjustment of the spine manually. The adjustments are relatively painless and help free up nerve impulses to the body. This will allow the brain to communicate with the body and vise versa. The power that made the body can heal the body.

HEADACHES ARE MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY NECK PROBLEMS

According to the front page of the “Life” section in theToronto Star… “Chiropractors were right. Many headaches are caused by damaged structures in the neck – and scientific evidence proves it.”

The article interviewed a Toronto physician, Peter Rothbart, who concludes:

“We have been about to find an anatomical and physiological cause for many headaches. We’ve found damaged structures in the neck, and have gone on to prove they are the cause of the pain.

“We couldn’t believe it at first. We’ve been able to put together a scientific explanation for how neck structure causes headaches…”

In the past, medical doctors have scorned the idea that neck problems cause headaches when it was suggested by chiropractors. But Rothbart says they will accept the anatomical research results.

Rothbart says doctors can check different bones in the neck to identify exactly where the problem is…If it is a structural problem that will respond to spinal manipulation, Rothbart refers the patient to a chiropractor to have it fixed.

Overview of the Foot and Ankle

The human foot serves as the foundation of the body, combining mechanical complexity and structural strength. The ankle specifically serves as the shock absorber and propulsion engine of the body. The foot and ankle are designed to sustain enormous pressure while providing flexibility and resiliency.

The foot and ankle are made up of…

• 26 bones (One-quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet);
• 33 joints;
• More than 100 muscles, tendons (fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones), and ligaments (fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones); and
• A network of blood vessels, nerves, skin and soft tissue.

These components work together to provide the body with support, balance, and mobility. A structural flaw or malfunction in any one part can result in the development of problems elsewhere in the body.
