Causes of Subluxations

At my Chiropractic office in Plantation, many patients often ask how do I get subluxations?

Sometimes a bad day at the office is all it takes to interfere with your nervous system.

Not only must your spine help you stand erect, it must allow you to move while allowing the vital nerve communications between your brain and your body. Your spinal cord and nerve roots are the most vulnerable part of your nervous system. That’s why we’re so interested in your spine. If your spine isn’t working right, your nervous system probably isn’t either—even if you feel great and don’t have any outwardly noticeable symptoms!

There are many causes of spinal subluxations, which fall into three broad categories. Here are some of the causes our patients have mentioned:

Physical

Being born
Learning to walk
Raking leaves
Shoveling dirt
Car accidents
Getting into your car
Sitting on your wallet
Hotel beds
Contact sports
High heeled shoes
Sweeping the garage
A bad pillow
Mental

Getting bad news
Tomorrow’s deadline
Stress
Feeling rushed
Job interview
Frustration
The holidays
Paying the bills
Being late
Your mother-in-law
Funerals
A speeding ticket
Chemical

Drugs
Muscle relaxers
Alcohol
Pain pills
Cigarette smoke
Paint fumes
Sleeping pills
Preservatives
Allergic reactions
Too much coffee
Anesthesia

One or more of these may be a cause of the headaches and neck pain you've been suffering with for months now! A car accident or sports injury are obvious causes of subluxations - but sometimes it just takes a bad day at work.
