In 1987, the American Chiropractic Association defined subluxation to be an aberrant relationship between two articular structures that may have functional or pathological sequelae, causing an alteration in the biomechanical and or neurophysiological reflections of these articular structures, their proximal structures, and or body systems that may be directly or indirectly affected by them (ACA, 1987). Now what does this mean in more laymen terms? If your spine is twisted or out of alignment, it will put pressure on the nerves that run along your spine, this will cause pain and damage to your nerves, muscles, joints and bones and will start affecting your organs in a very negative way. It is very important to be checked for subluxation because, like high cholesterol, “You do not feel subluxation,” you will begin to feel the effect of subluxation but that is after the damage is already occurring in you body.
What effect will subluxation have on your health?
Each one of the nerves along the 24 vertebra supply a different organ and depending on where the subluxation is, will depend on what is affected. A few examples of these are…
If there are Subluxations in your cervical spine (neck):
Some of the things that will be affected will be your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, the blood supply to your head or your vocal cords. The effect of these Subluxations can cause, thyroid conditions, headaches, nervousness, head colds, high blood pressure, allergies, deafness, vision difficulties or laryngitis.
If there are Subluxations in you thoracic spine (mid back):
It will affect your heart, lungs, gall bladder, liver, stomach, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, kidneys or small intestine. The effects from having Subluxations in your mid spine can cause; asthma, heart conditions, bronchial conditions, gall bladder problems, liver conditions, stomach troubles or kidney troubles.
If there are Subluxations in your Lumbar spine (lower back):
It will affect your large intestine, appendix, sex organs, prostate gland or bladder.
These are the organs that are affected by Subluxation. Think about some of the symptoms that can be caused if your organs are not working to their full potential. A really good example of this would be, if there is a Subluxation in your mid spine, you could experience digestion problems. If you have Subluxations in your neck area, you could be having problems with your thyroid; causing hypo-thyroid or hyper-thyroid.
