The Vertebral Subluxation Complex

The Vertebral Subluxation Complex

 Stress, poor posture, trauma, repetitive work and chemical or emotional  imbalances can all take a toll on the body. Many times, these factors  can cause misalignments between the bones in the skeletal system.  Chiropractors locate these misalignments, or subluxations, and work with  you to correct the source of the problem, rather than just treating the  symptoms. Subluxations, if left untreated, can cause impairment to the  nervous system, which can result in organs and other tissues throughout  the body functioning poorly.

 The Vertebral Subluxation Complex
The brain stem and  the spinal cord serve as the body’s communication pathways, carrying  messages in the form of nerve impulses to and from the brain. These  messages control the function and health of nearly every cell, tissue,  organ and system of the body. The main pathway is protected by the  vertebra, which make up the spinal column. Even a small disturbance of  the spine can affect the delicate nerve tissue it protects. When the vertebra lose their normal position and motion, it is often referred  to as Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). VSC can result in impairment  of the nervous system. It often causes a chain reaction through other  tissues and systems in the body, and frequently lies at the root of many  health problems. Your chiropractor’s goal is to detect, reduce and  prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. 

Many Causes of Subluxation

Many Causes of Subluxation

 A subluxation can occur at any age, and sometimes the exact cause may be  difficult to determine. Some common causes include: falls, improper lifting, car accidents, poor posture, sports injuries, repetitive work, sitting too long, sudden violent movements, lack of exercise,  chemical or emotional stress and hereditary factors.

Anyone can  suffer the negative effects of a subluxation.  It is important to get  treatment as soon as possible to reduce the negative effects. 

Treatment—The Adjustment

Treatment—The Adjustment

Many Causes of Subluxation

Chiropractors treat subluxations by performing an adjustment. This will  consist of the doctor applying a precisely directed force to a joint  that has misaligned or is not moving properly. The correct force will  restore normal motion to the joint, allowing the affected bones to return to their proper position. In turn, the body becomes better able to function as it should. Chiropractic is a safe, natural approach to  removing interferences from the spinal and nervous systems, which can  improve overall health.

There are different techniques for  adjustments. Most times, either the doctor’s hands or a specially  designed instrument will provide a quick, therapeutic thrust to the  affected joint. Some adjustments may require a slow, constant pressure to be effective. Each patient’s unique musculoskeletal problem will be evaluated  by the doctor, and based on years of training and experience, an individual program of care will be created for the patient. 

Continued Progress

Treatment—The Adjustment

Continued Progress

 As your symptoms clear, you will naturally begin to feel better. You may  be tempted to believe that you have completed your recovery, and that  you do not need to continue your treatment program. Research has  indicated that ligaments and discs heal very slowly, because they have a  very poor blood supply. Additionally, muscles damaged by nervous system interference may have formed fibrotic scar tissue, which decreases  natural elasticity. Frequently, a program of physical therapy modalities will be  implemented by the doctor. Massage, exercises, stretching and rehabilitation can all help speed up the healing process. Discontinuing  treatment early will not only delay full recovery, it may lead to a  relapse of the original problem.

Dr. Cohen will continue to  monitor the progress of your healing process. Following through with  your treatment plan and making lifestyle changes suggested by your  doctor will assure you a more lasting recovery, and feeling your best physically will carry over to other aspects of your life. Many doctors  encourage regular chiropractic checkups to maintain optimum health, and  regular patients often report higher energy levels and better concentration than they had experienced prior to seeking chiropractic  treatment.
