A chiropractic subluxation is an abnormal relationship between and/or a fixation of one or more joints of the spine that negatively affects the nervous system, the control system of your entire body.  Subluxation occurs when one vertebra has moved in relationship to the one above or below it and become locked into an abnormal position.  This fixation of spinal joints leads to excessive inflammation, pain, and a state of chronic disease.  This often occurs when abnormal spinal curvatures are present.
