Subluxation Spotlight: What Causes Subluxation?

Understanding Subluxation and its Impact on Health

Subluxation occurs when there is misalignment or improper movement of the vertebrae in the spine. It can occur due to various factors and can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. At Backlund Chiropractic and Holistic Health, we provide comprehensive solutions to address subluxation and promote optimal spinal alignment.

Common Causes of Subluxation

Subluxation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Poor posture: Prolonged sitting or slouching can contribute to subluxation over time.
• Trauma or injury: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can lead to subluxation.
• Repetitive motions: Repetitive motions or activities that strain the spine can contribute to subluxation.
• Stress: Chronic stress can result in muscle tension and imbalances, leading to subluxations.
• Joint degeneration: Aging or conditions like arthritis can cause joint degeneration, increasing the risk of subluxation.
• Inadequate ergonomics: Poor workplace setup or improper lifting techniques can contribute to subluxation.
• Poor lifestyle choices: Sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, and unhealthy habits can impact spinal health.
• Pregnancy: The body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, which can lead to subluxation.

Effects of Subluxation on Overall Health

Subluxation can have a range of effects on overall health, including:

• Impaired nerve function: Misalignments in the spine can interfere with nerve impulses, impacting the body's ability to function properly.
• Pain and discomfort: Subluxation can cause localized pain in the affected area, as well as refer pain to other parts of the body.
• Reduced mobility and flexibility: Misalignments can restrict joint movement, leading to reduced mobility and flexibility.
• Headaches and migraines: Subluxation in the upper cervical spine can contribute to frequent headaches or migraines.
• Organ dysfunction: Nerve interference due to subluxation can affect organ function and overall health.
• Compromised immune system: Subluxation can impact the body's natural defense mechanisms, making it more susceptible to illness and disease.
