Many people suffer from nerve problems and back pain due to a disorder called subluxation. Victims of car accidents and people who work at desks have this disorder in common, and oftentimes are not aware of the issue. Instead, they are plagued by secondary nervous system issues. Sometimes the disorder is manageable, but it is wise to have a professional opinion.
Spinal subluxation can be the result of long periods of sitting, trauma or chemical imbalances. When subluxation occurs, vertebra become misaligned and interfere with the tissues and nerves of the spine and spinal cord. The vertebra can pinch or put pressure on areas of the spine and create many nervous system symptoms. When vertebra are misaligned, this also creates another problem – loss of mobility. Altogether, these problems cause interruption in the nervous system’s normal functions. Since the nervous system includes the entire body, symptoms of subluxation can include anything from headaches to foot pain. Other common symptoms include back pain, sciatica pain, hot flashes, numbness and tingling in the extremities, trouble walking, muscle spasms, depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, dizziness and shoulder pain. These symptoms do not typically occur together; instead, these symptoms occur in conjunction with the affected nerve branch.
Those who have been living with subluxation symptoms are often eager to have this serious condition treated. Without proper treatment, there is the possibility of the condition deteriorating. Over time, the subluxation can naturally worsen, or an injury can exacerbate the condition considerably. Additionally, those who are in pain from subluxation often have other health problems secondary to the disorder. High blood pressure, depression and anxiety can all ensue from the stress of subluxation.
Fortunately, chiropractors have techniques that prove successful in the case of spinal subluxation. Using quick manipulation of the area, a chiropractor can immediately improve and correct subluxation. A chiropractor specializing in subluxation treatment uses their hand or an instrument to apply pressure to the area. This allows correction of the disorder, allowing the spine its normal function and range of motion. This method can eradicate both subluxation and secondary symptoms. This also eliminates the likelihood of the subluxation deteriorating with time.
