The Spine And Subluxations
The term subluxation is often misunderstood and not always accepted due to a gap in knowledge of some mechanisms of applied physiology (not only the theory of written texts) and because of the fact that medical training does not consider as valid some existing studies.
For this subluxation is not considered sufficiently important factor when searching for the many causes of pain or other conditions relating to health.
For those who have no medical training and have not studied anatomy and physiology of the explanations are often difficult to understand, sometimes even professionals seem to have very variable knowledge of the science of subluxations: there is a unique and valid explanation for all (if not the bookish), but a whole range of different points of view that the practical experience of the individual and depend on its ability to understand this rather complex mechanism.
Medicine based on evidence of facts should be considered as important as the science officer, except that science sometimes is not as “scientific” as it appears neurotically (the stories of patients and clinical trials personal) deserve greater consideration, favor of a more comprehensive approach.
The explanation that follows is a compendium of various anecdotal and aimed to formulate hypotheses and to stimulate the attention of health workers, as well as other persons, regarding the mechanism of the subluxation complex.
Subluxation of a joint is a very small misalignment of the joint, which are therefore more congruence between them. The joint is locked in this situation and fails to return alone in the physiological position. This block is not as simple as that of an old drawer stuck in the guides, as the operative factor in muscle tension unbalanced.
The structural system is a human being ‘flexible functional unit made of bones, ligaments, muscles and other tissues, all interconnected with each other and therefore should be viewed as a whole and not from one angle.
Different elements have different tasks and some have many, like our muscles. The main work of the muscles is to provide a motor system, moving the joints into their natural amplitude of movement, which in turn is determined by the shape and bone structure of ligaments.
The second task of the muscles is to provide joint stability, maintaining the integrity and compact structure of the joint. If you hang a bar with your hands, your body does not stretch like a rubber band under its own weight, because the system recognizes the forces that pull down and the muscles contract and are programmed to fight them, preventing the joints are ripped.
When the forces in our body become too powerful and above the normal level, the pain intervenes to warn of possible danger and consciously protect the structure by triggering the stimulus reflex that orders the muscles to contract. The two systems that oversee all this are the proprioceptive system and the unreceptive, with their position and pain receptors.
If a motion does not cause joint pain are normal, but the articulation you could sub-luxury if this movement goes beyond the normal articular angle amplitude, or because of bad postural habits or due to external forces: the muscles assumed to be the new location as normal and therefore will maintain.
In most cases, the joints will realign spontaneously, thanks to the natural mechanism due to gravity (weight): the conformation of bone and ligaments gradually move the joint towards the physiological position, but this is influenced by the situation of alignment of points key structure, namely the pelvic girdle and skull Atlante-axial alignment.
If key alignments are too compromised, then the muscles will keep your joints sub-luxury, just as a natural reaction time to a re-balancing of the axis head – pelvis.
Often this is never more Correggio alone and the entire structure begins to regenerate at the cellular level, which means that the muscles become shorter or longer, depending on the position of the joints, helping to keep the block joints. This is where the subluxation leads to muscle imbalances and tensions.
However there are other cases that can cause a misalignment of joints, initially started with a muscular tension. In such cases, the muscle tension in lead to subluxation and once again, the key points misaligned promote chronic subluxation with changes at the cellular level.
Muscle tension, especially the asymmetrical, can be caused by several factors distressing structural, chemical, electromagnetic, genetic, psychological and spiritual.
If muscle tension has not yet brought a change at the cellular level, then a realignment of spontaneous subluxation is possible, although often outside intervention of an operator is required to start the whole process.
This can be achieved through a re-alignment structural balance and maintaining it for long enough, the muscles of the body need to re-change at the cellular level: removing muscle tension and providing an appropriate extension to allow spontaneous alignment mechanism from starting correctly.
Of course, a combination of both factors would be the optimal and lasting results for items distressing should be avoided. Work on lifestyle, nutrition, muscle strengthening and balance personnel are also important.
In conclusion: subluxations should not be regarded as diseases inevitable, but as a natural reaction of our body in order to offset the stress factors on different floors.
A change that back to your balance is often possible to reverse the ‘whole process that leads to subluxations. However, this can sometimes require outside help, and always self help and ‘self discipline. There is therefore based on an individual assessment of all factors to be considered for a tailored approach towards better alignment, which follows the natural laws of physics, physiology and anatomy in combination with non-physical aspects.
