If you are new to chiropractic, you’ve probably heard of a subluxation before, but you may not really understand what it is or the damage it can cause. So, what are subluxations, and can they cause issues like back pain and headaches?

WHAT ARE SUBLUXATIONS?

Subluxations are misalignments of the vertebrae of the spine. They can happen for a variety of reasons and the side effects vary on each individual. One thing that all sufferers have in common is that subluxations can be harmful and should be corrected.

CAUSES OF BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

Subluxations can be the cause of back pain and neck pain and that pain is one of the most obvious symptoms of a subluxation of the spine. The pain can be minor or severe — some people experience slight discomfort and others are completed debilitated. If you are suffering from back or neck pain, it may be time to see if you have a misalignment of the spine.

HEADACHES

Headaches are another common symptom of subluxations as they cause pressure and tension to build up. When the tension is unable to be released due to a misalignment, it builds until it reaches the base of the head and causes a headache. Headaches that seem to be random may be the result of many things, but and a subluxation could be the cause.

LIMITED MOBILITY

The pain that comes with subluxations often makes movement difficult. You may notice inflexibility or stiffness. Simple tasks may become more difficult and exercise seemingly impossible, causing you to want to move less. That only compounds the problem and makes stiffness worse. If you find yourself losing flexibility, a spinal check-up may be in order.

If you suspect a subluxation of your spine is causing your pain, the best way to correct the problem is with chiropractic care. The chiropractors at Wills Chiropractic are known for their ability to find and correct problem spots and use spinal adjustments to return the vertebrae of the spine to their proper position.
