What Is Subluxation Degeneration

Did you know improperly functioning spinal joints can lead to deterioration in your spine? Even basic everyday life can cause stress on your spinal joints and these stresses can lead to misalignments and improperly functioning spinal joints which cause damage in your spine. If you do not treat improperly functioning spinal joints it can lead your body to respond with Subluxation Degeneration a process which will have a very negative impact on your quality of life and overall health.

Here is how Subluxation Degeneration occurs in your body.

A subluxation causes a neurological disturbance in your body. All body functions are controlled by the brain sending and receiving messages over nerves through the spine.  When spinal stress occurs it can cause your spine to misalign and malfunction.  Soft tissue such as discs and ligaments begin to degenerate from lack of movement and the vertebra begins to distort with abnormal bony growth and bone supurs.

The below diagram shows a healthy spine compared to a spine in the degeneration process.  Notice the bone spurs and narrowed disc in the degenerated spine.  If this condition is not treated eventually Subluxation Degeneration will occur and the malfunctioning joints will fuse together causing an impared nervous system, reduced mobility, and permant nerve and soft tissue damage.

Regardless of your age, if this condition goes uncorrected you will suffer the body building up calcium on the areas adjacent to the bones that are not moving properly. This will cause decay in the spine to begin its course. This is known as Subluxation Degeneration.

Motion and alignment of the spine is the key to helping counter act Subluxation Degeneration.  The chiropractic approach to health care and Subluxation Degeneration is natural. It does not try to stimulate or inhibit normal body function. Instead, chriopractic care addresses the critical relationship between the nervous system and Subluxation Degeneration.

Chiropractors are experts in care of the musculo-skeletal system which is made up of all the joints in your body.  Regular chiropractic care promotes proper joint function and mobility.  It is for this reason chiropractic care is known to be the best method for natural treatment of Subluxation Degeneration.
