The chiropractic subluxation is any afferent-based program that leads to long-term pathology
As previously stated, in the subluxated patient, the brain is not processing or organizing the flow of sensory impulses in a manner that gives the individual good, precise information about himself or his world. Thus any efferent output will be inefficient and lead to eventual dysfunction and limitation.
The chiropractic subluxation is any afferent-based program that leads to long-term pathology and inefficiency. The interference in the nervous system is on the afferent side NOT the efferent side. It just may not be the area of pain, or motor unit fixation, or wedge on X ray, or the loss of a lateral curve that, if corrected, will give the CNS the best information about its internal and external environment and allow it to produce the most efficient output. It just may be the wedge on X ray or the listing just may change from day to day.
