The Five Components of The Vertebral Subluxation Complex
1. Joint Damage
Kinesiopathology
Vertebrae out of proper alignment
increased stress on joints
"Locked" jamming joints
"Clicking" or too much movement in joints
Pain
Reduced range of motion
Loss of Balance and posture
Shoulders, hips, knees, feet compensate for postural imbalance
Loss of energy, fatigue
2. Nerve Damage
Neuropathology
Nerves compressed, stretched or "pinched"
Nerves function abnormally which can lead to:
Altered internal organ function
Pain
Attention deficit disorders, addictive behavior, psychosis and other conditions.
3. Tissue damage
Histopathology
Abnormal pressure on joints and nearby "soft" tissues
Swelling
Soft tissue damage
Many areas become tender and painful, especially to touch
"Hot" spots and trigger points
Unnatural wear and tear caused arthritic changes to the joints and nearby tissues.
4. Muscle damage
Myopathology
Muscles become tense
Spastic
Always tight
Muscles weaken
Cartilage, ligaments and tendons are weakened
Pain
Postural distortions
5. Health damage
Pathophysiology
Dis-ease (lack of wholeness or health)
Accelerate aging
Chronic fatigue
Lessened ability to respond to physical and emotional stress
Lowered resistance to disease
Joint degeneration, bone deformation, disc destruction
Loss of height
Inability to "hold" adjustment for long periods
Subluxation can also affect...
Emotional health. A subluxation can cause wide-ranging emotional effects
Trophic substances. Nerces supply muscles and other organs with nutrition. They are essential for muscle tone and organ vitality.
The meninges that wrap around your brain, spinal cord and connect to your spine, can be distorted by a subluxation. this can affect the stability and health of your entire spinal column and nervous system. Inside the meninges flows the cerebro-spinal fluid (CFS), which is essential for proper nervous system and overall health.
Organ health (somoto-autonomic relationship). A disruption of the nerve-organ relationship has been linked to a weakened immune system, blood pressure irregularities, disrupted kidney function and other conditions.
Immume system function. Nerve fibers of into virtually every organ of the immune system and form direct contacts the the immune system cells... if you took the nerves away from the spleen or lymph node, you virtually stopped immune responses in their tracks... Now there is overwhelming evidence that hormones and neurotransmitters can influence the activities of the immune system, and that products of the immune system can influence the brain.
