SUBLUXATION​

Subluxations are a cousin to dislocation. A dislocation is when a bone is out of its joint (ex  - dislocated shoulder) complex. A subluxation is a minor misalignment of a joint but is still within the joint complex. This what chiropractic – chiro means hand and practic means practitioner. So, a chiropractor is a practitioner that uses his/her hand to identify and correct subluxations.  These can not only create back pain but also cause organ dysfunction. Subluxations can put pressure on the nerves that exit the spine. Pains going down the arms and legs are classic for this, but these same nerves also control organs
