The VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION
The 5 COMPONENTS of the VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION
1. JOINT DYSFUNCTION
The vertebra loses its normal position & motion. This is what sets in motion the other 4 components.
2. SOFT TISSUE DYSFUNCTION
Inflammation, swelling & edema of the surrounding soft tissues
– discs, ligaments & tendons.
3. MUSCULAR DYSFUNCTION
Muscles supporting the spine may weaken, atrophy, or become tight
and go into spasm.
4. NERVE DYSFUNCTION
Nerve compression can lead to obvious symptoms like nerve pain, but most commonly the subluxation puts silent stress on the nerve, affecting its ability to transmit signals between the brain & body.
5. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Loss of homeostasis. Spinal degeneration, scar tissue, and long-term nerve dysfunction can cause other systems of the body to malfunction.
