The first subluxation can be caused from birth, did you experience any trauma in your birth process? For example did your mother have a c-section, an epidural, forceps delivery, induction, a long and difficult labour etc ?
A history of trauma may also cause subluxation resulting in degeneration and decay. Have you had any minor or major accidents such as car, motorbike, pushbike, animal, sports or any falls?
Stress in its many forms has a negative impact on the nervous system. Have you experienced any emotional stressors (death, relationship, work, financial, home), chemical stressors (use of recreational and prescriptive drugs, poor nutrition, exposure to environmental/work toxins), physical stressors (awkward or prolonged working positions, repetitious work, strenuous exercise etc.)
Have you checked the posture of yourself and your family lately? Subluxation tends to travel in families and people who do like minded activities. Postural abnormalities are the first indicators of subluxation because posture is the window to your spine and nervous system. Do you have one shoulder lower than the other, a limited range of motion in your neck, do you notice you wear out one shoe faster than the other?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then you need to have your spine assessed by a corrective chiropractor who detects and eliminates subluxation.

The spinal adjustment is a safe, natural and non-evasive procedure to restore proper ranges of motion to subluxated vertebrae which then reduces interference on the nervous system. Chiropractors are the only trained and registered professionals to deliver a spinal adjustment.
The adjustment creates a stimulus in the nervous system which improves overall health and wellness.
There are many adjusting techniques and because each subluxation pattern is different, the adjusting technique will vary. Your chiropractor will design your unique corrective plan ensuring that you feel comfortable.
Chiropractic Central utilises techniques which will most effectively correct the subluxations with a minimum force.
As a new chiropractic patient, you may be concerned about how you'’ll feel after your spinal adjustment. "What will happen when I'm adjusted? Will I feel better right away? Will it hurt afterwards?"
Feeling Great
Most patients feel some affects of the adjustment immediately. It may be the first time in years that normal nerve energy has been able to reach some areas of the body without interference.
Many people say that they feel more limber and relaxed. Some describe the effect as a surge of energy and vitality. Still others report an almost immediate decrease in the dysfunction they've been experiencing. Headaches may suddenly disappear and people who had trouble walking into the office because of back pain may - literally - dace out the door.
At this point, it is important to remember that chiropractic doesn’t “cure” or “treat” headaches or backaches. Your chiropractor locates and corrects the subluxations that had made it difficult for your body to take care of itself.
Patients who receive immediate relief also have to bear in mind that severe subluxations may have existed for a long time. Several adjustments may be needed before the vertebrae can be restored to correct alignment. The temporary disappearance of a symptom doesn’t mean that optimum health has been achieved.
Discomforts
Although many of the changes taking place feel great, there are some which may cause minor discomfort or concern.
For instance, some people report slight soreness in the area of the subluxation. This is not uncommon. After all, the muscles around the area have been "trained" to pull in certain directions. Now, they are being asked to pull in a different direction. Some soreness may be expected, although it is normally quite mild and usually temporary.
Another effect is a light-headed feeling. Many patients actually enjoy this temporary "high", but others find it disconcerting. It, too, is normal.
Because of subluxations, there may be parts of the body which haven’t received normal nerve flow for years. Suddenly, the impulses are rushing to these cells, sending and receiving new messages from the brain, filling the patient with a burst of energy that can literally leave him or her dizzy. The feeling - generally lasting just a few minutes - should be recognised as physical evidence if the body’s healing power at work.
The release of this healing power can also stimulate nerves which have long since been "anesthetised" by lack of normal energy flow. When these nerves are reactivated after an adjustment, they may actually be more sensitive than before. This phenomenon known as "retracing" is part of the healing process and should decrease as the healing continues.
The Changes Within
Some patients say they don’t feel any different after their adjustments. Still, they realise that many changes are indeed occurring within the body - even if there are no outward signs. When your normal flow of energy is restored - when your Innate Intelligence can once again communicate with all parts of your body without interference - the effects are significant. You don’t need to feel light-headed to know that your body is healthier without subluxations.
Subluxations occur in children just as they do in adults and many children receive their first subluxations during pregnancy and birth. By nature, children are active and energetic so daily activities can easily result in subluxations. By making regular spinal checkups for your children you ensure that their bodies can function at 100% capacity.
