What Is A Subluxation?

SUBLUXATION(sub'-luk-SA-shen):
1. A misaligned spinal bone (vertebrae) which compresses the brainstem, spinal cord, and/or nerves.
2. Causes malfunction of the body's organs, muscles, and tissues due to the interference they create in the nerve system. Poor function eventually causes pain, illness, and disease.

SUBLUXATIONS are caused by any physical, mental, or chemical stress the body cannot adapt to. They cause a lowered resistance to illness, infection, and disease.

When a spinal bone misaligns it puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This causes the areas of the body supplied by those nerves to malfunction.

...headaches/migraines, sinusitis, pain/stiffness, male/female disorders, irritability, constipation, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, heart problems, asthma, allergies, sleeping disorders, indigestion, or any symptom... are all warning signals that something in the body is malfunctioning and needs attention.

The purpose of Chiropractic is to find the CAUSE of the malfunction (subluxation) and CORRECT it so your body may begin to function normally once again and to heal itself. Removing subluxation removes nerve interference, thus restoring health.

What Is Health?

"Look to the spine for the cause of disease." ~Hipocrates, the father of Modern Medicine

Disease can be forseen years in advance and prevented...HERE'S HOW!

We spend an estimated 1 trillion dollars per year on heath care. We have more doctors, more hopspitals, and take more drugs than any other nation, yet the World Health Organization (WHO) ranks us among the sickest. Each year we are less healthy than the one before and the major illnesses continue to threaten higher and higher percentages of our population. At the present rate, half of our population will suffer from chronic disease within five years!

Doctors have inside information on why health manages to escape us, and is in fact getting worse. The problem is that we do not understand what healthy really is or how to achieve it.

The inside secret you've never heard from your doctor is that the one and only true definition of health is "normal function." When you are functioning at 100% you are healthy. The most costly mistake you can make is to think health is merely being free from symptoms. Sickness and disease are not an event, they are a process. This is why the first symptom of heart disease is often a fatal heart attack; the problem had actually been developing for years...SILENTLY.

Symptoms and illness are the end result of the body functioning improperly for years. Cancer, heart disease, neck and back pain, headaches, ulcers, arthritis, male and female conditions, etc., develop for a long time before symptoms arrive. And by then, it is often too late. Symptoms show up at the end of the problem, not the beginning. To think that if you have no symptoms then you have no problems is one of the most dangerous errors in judgement you could ever make concerning your health. This type of thinking will eventually result in a shorter life.

Health can only be achieved and maintained when we switch our emphasis away from simply removing symptoms and toward creating optimum function. Because the spinal cord and nerve system control all function, optimum health cannot be achieved until we have an optimum healthy spine.

"Any part of the spine can become diseased and thereby become the curative factors for disease. We medical doctors who have studied and used Chiropractic techniques have proven its undisputible value." ~Friemut Biederman, M.D., Hamm, Germany
