A lot of people are confused about what a subluxation is, which is understandable because chiropractors have evolving definitions that change over time.
What we know now, based on the latest research, is, ironically, very close to what Chiropracticâs founder, DD Palmer hypothesized over 100 years ago, only the mechanism is a little bit different. And given he made this theory before X-Rays were invented, I think we can let that slide.
Perhaps even more profound is how close he was to the truth *without* any of the diagnostic technology we have today.
Chiropractic recognizes the bodyâs innate ability to heal and regulate itself, rooted in vitalismâthe belief in an inborn intelligence guiding health.
Chiropractors focus on correcting subluxations to restore proper nervous system function
In chiropractic, a vertebral subluxation is a pattern of neurological dysfunction in the spine affecting three things:
Misalignment: or altered positioning is present.
Fixation or Restricted Motion: leads to reduced range of motion and overall movement and alters proprioception
Neurological Interference & Imbalance: the combination of misalignment and restricted motion (altered proprioception) disrupts and alters neurosensory input into the brain, leading to interference and imbalance within the nervous system.
