subluxation

Subluxation refers to a partial dislocation of a joint, where the bones in the joint remain connected but are misaligned or out of their normal position. This can cause pain, restricted movement, and discomfort, as the joint doesn’t function properly. It’s often caused by injury, overuse, or strain. Unlike a full dislocation, where the bones are entirely separated, a subluxation may not be visibly obvious but still affects the joint’s stability and health. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important to restore proper alignment and prevent further problems.
