The bones of
the spine
are designed
to move,
while at the
same time
protecting
the spinal
cord and
nerve roots.
But,
sometimes
they become
"stuck,"
don't move
enough or
they move
too much.
This can be
caused by
physical
trauma
(repetitive
motion, car
accidents,
slips,
falls,
etc.),
emotional
stress
(worry,
negative
thoughts,
fear, etc.),
or chemical
imbalances
(alcohol,
drugs,
toxins,
pollution,
etc.).
When spinal
joints are
fixated
("stuck")
and not
moving
enough, they
force other
joints to
move too
much. These
problems can
distort
normal
spinal
curves and
compromise
proper
function. In
some cases,
problems in
one area of
the spine
can cause
compensation
reactions in
other areas!
Doctors can
detect this
aspect of
the
Vertebral
Subluxation
Complex by
analyzing
your
posture,
taking
diagnostic
X-rays,
measuring
your ability
to turn and
bend, plus
other tests.
