What is a subluxation? And why does it matter?

from The Catalyst Chiropractic Podcast Hosted by Tara Mueller

What exactly is a subluxation—and what does your chiropractor mean when they use that word? In this episode, Dr. Tara breaks down one of the most commonly used (and misunderstood) terms in chiropractic. We’ll talk about why a subluxation is more than simply a “bone out of place,” how spinal and joint function relate to the nervous system, what chiropractors are actually looking for when they check your spine, and what an adjustment is intended to do. If you’ve ever wondered what your chiropractor is feeling for—or why they may adjust an area that doesn’t hurt—this episode is for you.
