Do you have persistent back pain, stiffness or discomfort that is not easily explained? You may have a vertebral subluxation, a misalignment in your spine that can cause more problems than you think.
In this blog you will learn what a vertebral subluxation is, how it occurs, what its symptoms are and how chiropractic can help you correct it safely and naturally.
What exactly is a subluxation?
A vertebral subluxation occurs when a vertebra moves out of its normal position, even though it is not completely out of place. This misalignment can put pressure on nerves and disrupt communication between the brain and body, causing physical symptoms such as:
- Back or neck pain
- Tingling in arms or legs
- Headache
- Muscle stiffness
- Mobility problems

What causes a vertebral subluxation?
The most common causes include:
- Poor sleeping, sitting or working postures
- Automobile accidents or falls
- Repetitive physical loads
- Emotional stress, which tightens the muscles
- Prolonged sedentary lifestyle
Over time, a subluxation can cause the body to maladapt, generating more pain and imbalance.
How does a chiropractor treat you?
A chiropractic treatment for subluxations includes:
- Postural evaluation and mobility analysis
- Accurate palpation to detect misaligned vertebrae
- Smooth and specific adjustments to put them back in place
- Complementary exercises and postural education
The adjustments are not painful and are adapted to each patient's condition. Progressive relief is felt during the sessions.
What does the science say?
According to the American Chiropractic Association, subluxations can influence the nervous system and cause symptoms beyond physical pain. Correcting them improves overall body function.
