Vertebral subluxation complex or VSC is a condition of the spine as termed by chiropractors in describing the symptoms and signs of vertebral subluxations. There is a difference with the “subluxation“term as used by medical doctors as termed by chiropractors. In chiropractic, the lesions alter and lead to visceral and neuromusculoskeletal disorders. In chiropractic, this is the main contributor that leads to spine disorders. Castro Valley chiropractic clinic welcomes patients who want to get their spines adjusted to remove the subluxations of the vertebrae. Subluxation of the vertebrae happens when a vertebra is not in its normal position compared to the vertebrae on top or below it. When it is not in the right position, this causes stress to the soft tissues that it is surrounded with such joints, muscles, discs, tendons and ligaments. As it keeps on causing stress to the surrounding tissues, muscle spasm would occur and the patient would experience tenderness, inflammation and also pain in the affected area. This, in turn, affects the well-being of the patient and the health is affected.
When you go and visit a Castro Valley chiropractic clinic, the chiropractor would first do a physical test to see what your problem is, if there is any. Then he/she would create a program specifically based on your condition. If you do suffer from VSC, your local chiropractor would treat it in accordance to the 5 components which have to be eliminated one after another in order to achieve complete healing. First is the kinesiopathology, myopathology, neuropathology, histopathology and the pathophysiology. The first one refers to the loss of motion of a vertebra as compared to the connecting vertebrae, 2nd refers to muscle spasm, 3rd refers to nerve tissue compression or irritation, 4th is local swelling and the last one is the change that a patient experiences once he/she had all the first four components. Once each of these components is eliminated, the patient is completely healed and optimal health is once again achieved.
It is much better to look for a Castro Valley chiropractic clinic as early as possible. Don’t wait for the symptoms to get worse before you consult with a chiropractor as this would only increase the length of time needed before you can completely recover.
We are exposed to daily wear and tear of the spine through repetitive motions, bad habits, bad posture and even with our diet. Aside from the physical causes there are also emotional causes of vertebral subluxation complex. Once we feel stressed, our body reacts to it. It’s true that the more stressed we are, the more prone we are to ailments. We can’t avoid being exposed to these things which is why a regular spinal adjustment would keep us in excellent shape as the subluxated vertebra gets adjusted once it is present. A trip to a Castro Valley chiropractic clinic for consultation would be an excellent start to achieve optimum health.
