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.
