vertebral subluxation complex

The vertebral subluxation complex refers to a misalignment or dysfunction of a vertebra in the spine that can affect nerve signals and overall health. It involves not just a slight bone shift but also changes in surrounding tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and joints. This can disrupt proper nerve flow, potentially leading to pain, reduced mobility, or other health issues. Chiropractors often assess and adjust these areas to restore proper alignment and improve nerve function, promoting overall well-being.
