What Is a Subluxation?

The health of your entire body is intricately connected with your spine. At Aloha Wellness - Chiropractic and Nutrition, serving North Central San Antonio and the surrounding areas, Dr. Clark can help you better understand how your spinal health affects your body. Let’s learn a bit more about subluxation and how it can affect your spinal health.

What Is a Subluxation?

A subluxation is a term used by chiropractors to describe a vertebra of the spine that has moved out of proper alignment. The spine is made up of many interconnected vertebrae. Between each of these vertebrae, there are soft-gel-like discs. The spine is made to be flexible so that your body can move in many different directions.

Because of this ability to be flexible, there is also the risk of some of the vertebrae shifting out of their proper positions. When this happens, it can have a negative effect on your spinal health, as well as the health of your entire body. Subluxation often results in back pain, neck pain, and other health problems.

How Can A Chiropractor Help?

A chiropractor can help if you are experiencing a misalignment of the spine. Chiropractors are trained to carefully realign the vertebra of the spine. This is accomplished by applying gentle, strategic pressure to certain areas of the spine. Most patients report that this is a painless procedure and actually pleasant.

The Benefits of Spinal Adjustments

In addition to relieving back pain, a spinal adjustment can also help some of the following conditions:

• Insomnia
