| Normal curves and proper disc spacing allow normal function of the spine
and nervous system.
|
Usually seen as the misalignment and malfunction of the spine. Normal
spinal motion, curves, and disc spacing are altered. Because the body is
so adaptable, this early phase can exist without the warning of pain or other
symptoms. If left uncorrected, loss of normal curves and nervous system
dysfunction may result.

Recognized on X- ray views of the spine by visible bone spurs and
rough edges of the vertebrae. Soft tissues, such as discs and ligaments
degenerate from the lack of normal joint movement. Again, pain or other
symptoms may not be present. Bone spurs and abnormal bony growths distort
the shape and function of the Vertebrae.
|
A lifetime of neglect may cause the eventual fusion of the
malfunctioning joints. Atrophy, permanent nerve damage, and soft tissue
degeneration are prevalent. Reduced mobility and impaired nervous system
function, diminish one's quality of life.

This 75-year old patient (image at left) has prevented Subluxation Degeneration with many
years of regular chiropractic checkups.
Subluxation Degeneration is how the body responds to improperly
functioning spinal joints. With early detection, appropriate
chiropractic care has been shown to slow, stop, or even reverse the
early stages of this process. Ask your doctor to design a program of
preventive care for you.
