Guide to Subluxations with Our Chiropractor

A subluxation refers to a partial misalignment or dysfunction of a joint, typically in the spine, which can interfere with the normal function of the nervous system and overall health. Our chiropractor is trained to detect and correct subluxations through specialized adjustments. Our Ponte Vedra Wellness Center team in Nocatee and Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, answers any further questions below.

What Is a Subluxation?

A subluxation occurs when one or more vertebrae in the spine are misaligned or not moving properly. This problem can cause irritation or pressure on spinal nerves, affecting the communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

The spine's bones are designed to stack on one another and are surrounded by nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues. Misalignment or subluxation means the bones are out of the proper placement, which leads to undue pressure on the surrounding tissues. This pressure can lead to pain, tingling, weakness, poor nerve function, and more.

What Can I Do about a Subluxation?

The answer is pretty simple. When bones are misaligned, that alignment needs to be restored. Chiropractors specialize in this. Adjustments involve chiropractors applying force with their hands or instruments to restore alignment.

Our chiropractor provides treatment to address what caused the subluxation and any spinal components impacted by it. For example, soft tissue techniques are used to relieve tension that puts strain on your spine, which often causes misalignment. Those techniques can also improve blood flow and nerve function to stimulate tissue regeneration.
