Important Vocabulary
- Vertebral (Ver-te-bral): Concerning the vertebral bones of the spine.
- Subluxation (Sub-lux-ation): Less than complete dislocation of a joint (currently defined at restriction in chiropractic) with nervous system interference.
- Complex (Com-plex): More than one part
Nervous System Function
When there is no interference, your nervous system controls the healthy function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.
How we Work in Nelson Tasman
A subluxation or the Vertebral Subluxation Complex, is a serious condition identified by its five parts:
Spinal Kinesiopathology: The bones of the spine have lost their normal motion or position. This can restrict your ability to turn and bend. It sets in motion the other four components.
Neuropathophysiology: Improper spinal function can choke, stretch, or irritate delicate nerve tissue. The resulting nervous system dysfunction can cause symptoms elsewhere in the body.
Myopathology: Muscles supporting the spine can weaken, atrophy, or become tight and go into spasm. The resulting scar tissue can change the muscle tone, requiring repeated spinal adjustments.
Histopathology: A rise in temperature from an increase in blood or lymph supply can result in swelling and inflammation. Discs can bulge, herniate, tear: or degenerate. Other soft tissues may suffer permanent damage.
Pathophysiology: Bone spures or other abnormal bony growths attempt to completely restrict malfunctioning spinal joints. This spinal decay, scar tissue, and long term nerve dysfunction can cause other systems of the body to fail.
What's the Cause?
Subluxation or more precisely, the Vertebral Subluxation Complex, describes what happens when spinal bones lose their normal motion from stress, trauma or chemical imbalances. Automobile collisions, rugby hits (even the none severe ones), improper lifting, drugs, alcohol, emotional stress, chemical imbalances and long periods of sitting can all cause the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Instead of just treating your symptoms, here at Connected Chiropractic, we are primarily interested in detecting, reducing and correcting the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
“We currently define a chiropractic subluxation as a self-perpetuating, central segmental motor control problem that involves a joint, such as a vertebral motion segment, that is not moving appropriately, resulting in ongoing maladaptive neural plastic changes that interfere with the central nervous system’s ability to self-regulate, self-organize, adapt, repair and heal.” (The Rubicon Group, May 2017.)”
