It should not be confused with "vertebral subluxation", a pseudo-scientific concept of chiropractic.
A subluxation is a displacement of a joint by stretching soft tissues. This type of disorders imprison nerves, triggering multiple physical problems, reducing joint mobility, as they directly affect body biomechanics. When a nerve is imprisoned, the joint functionality associated with it is compromised. For this reason subluxations have a domino effect to the detriment of the health and general well-being of the individual.
It occurs for various reasons, for example: bad postures, inappropriate mobilizations, blows, over muscular efforts, etc. The area of the body that is most often impaired by this pathology is the spinal column, affecting the axis of support and also all the structural stability of the body.
Subluxations always trigger multiple disorders, very painful and with a tendency to complicate. Some health conditions that predispose for this condition are poor diet, sleep disorders, bad sports practices, physical sedentary lifestyle, physical pathologies ...
A therapeutic branch that deals with restoring normality to tissues, in cases of subluxation, is physiotherapy.
