You’re in pain. You see the x-rays of your spine and wonder… No matter how long your pain has been present, people usually ask this common question – “How did my spine get that way?! How did I end up like this?”
The 3 main causes of spinal subluxation are listed here – what can you identify with on this list?
1. Trauma (Physical) – injury, falls, car crash, postural strain, sleep position, congenital defects, birth trauma, repetitive movements, sports.
2. Toxins (Chemical) – environmental pollution, chemical exposure, toxicity in food or body care products, drugs/medications.
3. Thoughts (Mental) – negative self-talk, depression, anxiety, anger, bitterness, worry, fear, hopelessness.
The current state of your spine and health is usually not a reflection of one choice, one injury, or one adjustment. It is the picture of what you have experienced over the course of your lifetime and the pattern of habits, choices, and disciplines over many years. If you are feeling way out of balance in one of these areas, let us know. We’re here to help in any way we can.
