Are the bones in the ideal axis, the joint will work smoothly throughout a whole lifetime. In chiropractic a malposition of the joint is called subluxation. Through subluxations arthrosis can develop, a degenerative disease also known as &#8220;wear and tear of the joints.&#8221;<br \/>\nSubluxation can also trigger many other diseases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>&#8220;Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.&#8221;<\/strong> Hippocrates<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-859474639\" class=\"col medium-6 small-9 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-center text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-img has-icon-bg\" style=\"width: 25px\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-inner\" style=\"border-width:1px;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">CONTROL CENTER BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM\/CNS)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In a spine with subluxations transmission of nerve impulses is disturbed, hindering communication between the brain and the rest of the body\u2014every cell, tissue and organ is connected to the CNS . Subluxations cause a decline of capacity for optimal regulation, the body is unable to function at it`s 100 per cent.<br \/>\nRecent research by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. (Developmental biologist, stem cell researcher) shows that the function of every cell in our body is controlled by the perception of the nervous system (link video). Subluxations of the spine and pelvic girdle interfere significantly with perception and therefore with regulation through the CNS.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-1261464120\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-67835392\" class=\"col small-9 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-center text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-img has-icon-bg\" style=\"width: 25px\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-inner\" style=\"border-width:1px;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">HOW ARE SUBLUXATIONS CAUSED?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2028Subluxations can occur at any age. Often the birthing process causes subluxations early in life.\u2028The main causes are considered the \u201cThree Ts\u201d: Trauma (physical), Toxins (chemical) and Thoughts (psychological).\u2028<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">TRAUMA\u2028<br \/>\nTrauma is the most well-known cause of subluxation. It can be caused by sheer force. Slips and falls, car crashes, sports injuries or operations often cause permanent misalignments. \u2028But your body experiences micro traumas every day\u2014and these may surprise you. Habits such as false posture at work through long periods of sitting at the computer, improper lifting, carrying a purse or bag on the same side of your body, wearing high heels, sleeping on your stomach, crossing your legs, etc. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2028TOXINS\u2028<br \/>\nToxins, as a cause of subluxation, may also not be as obvious. Think of your body as one big unit of chemicals\u2014when the body is healthy and balanced chemically, it\u2019s in a state of homeostasis. Depending on the toxic chemicals you take in through food, drink and environment, your body\u2019s homeostasis can be disrupted, causing imbalances. Toxins enter the body in many ways: poor nutrition, air pollution, chemicals in cleaning supplies and even the water in plastic bottles. Not getting enough physical exercise can cause toxins to build up in your body. These imbalances can cause muscular contractions or change fibre lengths in the muscles, causing subluxations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2028THOUGHTS\u2028<br \/>\nThe third &#8220;T,&#8221; Thoughts (a.k.a. stress), is a very common cause of subluxations. Often caused by stress at work i.e. time pressure or emotional stress. Think about it: you can be lying on a sandy beach somewhere but can feel completely stressed by thinking about work and problems back at home. When you&#8217;re stressed, muscles in your neck and upper back become tight releasing stress hormones, thus causing subluxations through physical and chemical stressors.<br \/>\nSubluxations often occur in early childhood and accompany us throughout our lives.

Is the capacity to compensate exhausted a small challenge such as &#8220;sleeping wrong&#8221; or tying your shoelaces can&#8221;suddenly&#8221; causes severe pain.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">TREATING SUBLUXATIONS<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Chiropractic is the only discipline that specializes in locating, analyzing and correcting subluxations. Your chiropractor eliminates the cause of your symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Committing to chiropractic care is a lifestyle choice\u2014just like exercising and eating well. It is impossible to eliminate all the (micro) traumas, toxins and stress from daily life, but choosing chiropractic as a preventative and proactive measure is vital to your path to optimal health.<\/p>\n<p>Chiropractic adjustments eliminate subluxations thus improving communication between brain and body, restoring it\u00b4s innate ability to heal.
