Vertebral subluxations, or vertebrae that are out of alignment, result in nerve pressure and interference of the signals from the brain to the tissue cells. Subluxations are caused by stress on the body. Any physical, chemical, or emotional stress can result in misalignment of the vertebrae.

Physical Stress can range from whiplash trauma to sleeping in the wrong position to sitting at your desk day after day with your head down over papers or a keyboard. And infants are not exempt – the birthing process itself can exert 40-60 lbs of pressure on the spine.

Chemical Stress is anything that upsets the body’s chemistry, like consuming too much sugar or chemical preservatives, or breathing environmental pollutants. It is difficult to avoid chemical stress, even when you are leading a clean lifestyle. When body chemistry is disrupted, muscle and ligament tone is weakened, leading to more subluxations.

Mental Stress is something everyone has and will experience in their lifetime. Tense emotional situations and everyday frustrations cause muscles to tighten unnaturally, resulting in uneven pressure on the spine and vertebrae to be pushed out of alignment.

When the vertebrae are misaligned, the lack of communication between the brain and the body causes a breakdown in normal tissue cells until enough abnormal cells have been formed to cause disease. The chiropractor’s job is to remove the subluxations, releasing the nerve pressure and allowing the mental impulse to get through and replace the abnormal cells with healthy ones. This is healing.

When alignment is maintained, your body has a greater potential to heal and stay healthy. If you have dis-ease in your body, come in to Livewell Family Chiropractic Center and let Dr. French help your body heal itself.
