What is a Subluxation?
The term "subluxation" refers to dislocation or misalignment of one or more vertebrae in the spine. Pressure on nerves in the spine, resulting from this misplacement of spinal vertebrae, is what causes pain in the back, neck, head and other areas of the body. Because every part of the body is connected to the spine, spinal problems can result in a variety of pains and difficulties.

What You Should Know About Spinal Adjustments
A spinal adjustment, or spinal manipulation, is the application of force by a skilled chiropractor to correct the position of a subluxated vertebrae. These adjustments are made when vertebrae become out-of-position in the spine and malfunction. In treating your pain, your chiropractor will test for vertebrae subluxations, then make the corrections if any are found.
About Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is another technique that can provide pain relief. With ultrasound therapy, sound waves create a therapeutic heat that massages joints and soft tissues. This treatment reduces spasms and stillness while increasing blood flow to the area where treatment is applied.
About Deep-Tissue Laser Therapy
Low level laser therapy can be used to reduce inflammation and pain in troubled areas. This laser sends photons into the body tissue and causes an increased level of circular metabolism and a reduction in pain. This produces great relief with no side-effects.
