What type of dysfunction is associated with subluxations?

Subluxations are primarily associated with neurological dysfunction because they can adversely affect the nervous system's function. When there is a misalignment or subluxation in the spine, it can lead to irritation or compression of spinal nerves, which may disrupt the effective transmission of nerve signals throughout the body. This disruption can manifest as various neurological symptoms, such as pain, tingling, weakness, or altered reflexes.

In chiropractic practice, understanding this connection is essential, as it guides the approach to treatment. Addressing subluxations often involves adjusting the spine to restore proper alignment and function, thereby alleviating neurological dysfunction and enhancing overall health.

While other types of dysfunction may occur in conjunction with subluxations, the primary focus of chiropractic care is the impact on the nervous system. Therefore, the association between subluxations and neurological dysfunction is a cornerstone of chiropractic philosophy.
