What are subluxations?
A subluxation is a stress response. Stress can cause an interference to the efficient movement of spinal bones. When subluxations exist, three things happen:
- They always cause spinal cord and nerve root damage.
- They always garble communications between the brain and parts of your body.
- They always limit your body's ability to live up to its full potential.

The damage caused by subluxations is cumulative. That means, the longer you have them, the more damage they cause. Interestingly, the vast majority of subluxations do not cause symptoms. So, the less time you place in between your visits the better you are.
At Doctor V, our method of detecting subluxations is gentle and effective for infants, children, and adults. Only by receiving regular chiropractic adjustments can your body adapt efficiently to the stress you endure from everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you get subluxations?
There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions, and improper lifting. Stress, anger and fear are examples of emotional causes of subluxations. Alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet can be chemical causes of subluxations.
How can subluxations be corrected?
While your body is constantly attempting to correct your subluxations without your knowing, only chiropractic adjustments provide a specific mode of energy that enables your body to overcome some of the stress that may have led to the subluxation in the first place.
How can I tell if I have subluxations?
The vast majority of subluxations do not have any symptoms or signs associated with them. It is for this reason alone, that regular adjustment visits are recommended. Having your spine checked on a routine basis gives you the best opportunity to have a body that is adapting well and maintaining a higher state of health and performance.
Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today’s hectic lifestyles are a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don’t resolve, you need to see a chiropractic doctor for an adjustment !
