Subluxation Definitions and Concepts
Precepts
Your understanding of the subluxation guides the doctor’s
ability to correct the subluxation
1)
Information regarding joint movement and joint position
provided by mechanoreceptors in the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and
joints combine with input from the Vestibular and Visual Systems to maintain
balance and generate appropriate movement patterns
2)
Ineffective and inefficient neurological input or
improper processing of that input at the spinal, brain stem or cognitive
centers can lead to an inadequate response by motor system resulting in
dysfunctional movement patterns and dysfunctional physiological processes. The physical entity (that can be assessed and
corrected) that causes ineffective and inefficient neurological input or
improper sensory input is called the chiropractic subluxation complex.
