EFFECTS OF SUBLUXATION The chiropractor's main objective is to identify and correct one or more abnormalities (subluxation) of the spine so that the nervous system may be restored to normal function, a condition which in turn gives the body the tools it needs to cure itself of any malfunctions. In layman's terms, a Chiropractic Subluxation describes an abnormality in the spine; which may and usually does, interfere with nerve impulses passing through and out of the spine at a given point. It only takes a relatively minor misalignment or dysfunction for the vital nerve channels to be disrupted. Disrupt the body's communication system, no matter how minor the disruption, and there's bound to be an accumulating problem at the end of the line. And, in essence, opening and then keeping open the spinal nerve channels so that body itself can do its own healing, is what chiropractic is all about. The New Zealand Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic was perhaps the first government-sponsored investigation to discover the epidemic proportions of this often-latent cause of much of humankind's ills. The commission, during its 18-month inquiry in four countries, also discovered chiropractors were the only people sufficiently trained in the intricacies of the spine to safely deliver vertebral adjustments as a means of correcting abnormalities of the spine. One of the commission's most important findings was that vertebral Subluxations do exist and that the locating and correcting of this condition is a valid and highly effective method of removing the cause of many illnesses. A subluxation may take many years to produce a symptom. That is why it is very important for everyone to be regularly checked for the presence of Subluxations. |
