Subluxation TreatmentĀ
Also known as spinal misalignment, subluxation is a term used to describe a partial or incomplete dislocation of the spinal bone. Subluxations can be caused by a variety of factors, and they pose a high risk to your health. This is why chiropractors in Hendersonville at Carter Natural Health Center offer chiropractic care to help you correct and remove subluxations.
What Causes Subluxations?
Subluxations commonly occur after trauma to the joints. Trauma may include direct force injuries, wear and tear from normal day-to-day activities, or overuse injuries, which are common in athletes. Subluxations can also occur due to increased toxins in your body. How does this happen?
Our bodies are made up of chemicals, and these chemicals are always balanced. However, when you ingest toxic substances from food, drinks, or even the environment, you are at risk of disrupting your body balance. When there is a chemical imbalance, body muscles start to contract, altering your muscles' fiber length, and causing misalignments or back pain.
Another cause of subluxation is your emotions. Although this might seem impossible, studies show that emotional distress can disrupt your body balance. This is because stress causes tension on the neck and back. Moreover, stress alters your body's chemical balance since it raises your cortisol levels.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Treat Subluxations
Whenever you experience subluxations, chiropractors use specific techniques to ensure that your vertebrae stay in place and move freely. These chiropractic techniques include known as spinal manipulation.
During spinal manipulation, vertebrae are usually released from their misaligned position. The adjustment returns the vertebrae to their original position in the spinal column. After spinal manipulation has been performed, your body heals and restores its balance.
