Vertebral Subluxation and Nutrition Many a practice member has asked over the years about their spine and why it needs an adjustment. I explain to them, like I teach everyone, that STRESS causes the muscles in your body to contract for extended periods of time, often times in an uneven way from left to right, resulting in the pulling on the bones and resulting misalignment of the spine. Most seem to nod their heads, and I still feel like there is a question. Yet most don’t ask the follow-up. What can be done to minimize the effects of stress on my spine and how can I help myself?
In a healthy spine, the individual segments of the spine, the vertebrae, are carefully “stacked” and aligned so the various nerves from the spinal cord are free to function properly. A misalignment of one bone in the spine in relation to the next is called a subluxation.
A subluxation may interfere with the proper nerve function when nerve signals cannot flow freely to and from the brain. This can result in potentially improper function of a gland, organ, muscle or tissue controlled by those nerves. The most commonly affected areas include:
Spine Soft Tissue Muscles Nerves Joints Subluxation and Stress
Subluxations and stress, whether physical, chemical, mental, emotional or thermal, go hand in hand. Repetitive motion, improper lifting, and poor posture can cause physical stress on the spine and nervous system. Improper dietary intake of completely refined and processed foods, medications and other chemicals in our lives can and do affect the spine and nervous system. Job stress, finances, or stress in relationships with loved ones also cause mental/emotional stress on the spine and nervous system. And finally rapid changes in temperature during Winter and Summer months cause the muscles and ligaments to tighten. No matter where the stress comes from, it can contribute to the development of subluxation.
Identifying nutrient challenges is critical because they can affect nerve function and spinal stability. Proper nutrition, supported with whole food supplements, promotes overall health and provides the human body with the building blocks for tissue repair, helping reestablish proper function in the spine. Together Standard Process high-quality whole food supplements and MediHerb herbal products support you and your spine throughout your chiropractic care.
