Is Your Body Functioning at 100%? Understanding Subluxations and Its Impact

When your body is working at 100%, everything feels easier — you think clearly, move freely, and recover quickly. But when something is interfering with your nervous system, you may experience pain, fatigue, or poor performance. One common and often overlooked cause of this interference is a condition called subluxation.

What Is a Subluxation? (An Explanation Even a 12-Year-Old Can Understand)

A subluxation happens when one or more of the bones in your spine move out of place and put pressure on nearby nerves. Imagine stepping on a garden hose — water still comes out, but not as much and not as powerfully. That’s what a subluxation does to your nerves — it pinches or irritates them so they can't send messages properly between your brain and body.

Why Subluxations Matter

Your nervous system controls every part of your body — from muscles and joints to your heart, lungs, and digestive system. If a subluxation causes nerve interference, your body isn’t working at its full potential. You might not notice it right away, but over time, you may develop symptoms like headaches, neck or back pain, fatigue, trouble sleeping, or even problems with digestion or focus.

Subluxations don’t always hurt, but they always matter.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic adjustments are gentle, specific movements performed by a licensed chiropractor to realign the spine and remove subluxations. This allows the nervous system to function properly — so your brain can communicate clearly with your body. When the lines of communication are open, healing happens faster and performance improves.

Research shows that spinal adjustments can improve joint function, reduce inflammation, and support nervous system health (Hondras et al., 2002; Hawk et al., 2007).

Functioning at Your Full Potential

The goal of chiropractic care isn’t just to relieve pain — it's to help you live life at 100%. Whether you're an athlete, a busy parent, a student, or anyone in between, removing nerve interference gives your body the best chance to heal, grow, and thrive.
