What is a SUBLUXATION? A subluxation is a misalignment of the vertebrae and results in subsequent functional loss and creates pain/discomfort.
Why get adjusted?
The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body. Misalignments of spinal vertebrae and discs may cause irritation to the nervous system and affect the structures, organs, and functions that may result in certain conditions of different areas.
What does a subluxation in C1 cause?
A subluxation in C1 can affect the blood supply in the head, pituitary gland, scalp bones of the face, brain, inner and middle ear, & sympathetic nervous system. A C1 misalignment causes headaches, nervousness, insomnia, head colds, high blood pressure, migraines, amnesia, tiredness, & dizziness.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but it can come with physical challenges like back pain, pelvic pressure, and postural changes. Chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free solution to help moms-to-be feel more comfortable and prepared for delivery.
Many people brush off mild back pain, assuming it will go away on its own. However, ignoring minor discomfort can lead to long-term problems, including chronic pain, mobility issues, and even spinal degeneration.
Many people crack their own backs to relieve tension or stiffness, but is this habit helping or harming your spine? While that satisfying "pop" may feel good, there’s more to back cracking than just instant relief.
