What is Subluxation?
We at Cleary Family Chiropractic understand that accidents happen. A slip, bump, fall, or another sudden trauma can all cause a subluxation, a misalignment in your spine. Your Woodstock, GA, chiropractor are readily available to get you on a personalized treatment plan when or if an accident occurs. While the main goal is to correct the misalignment of your vertebrae and alleviate discomfort, we also work to prevent future subluxations by building up your spinal health. If you have a subluxation, symptoms include: - Swelling - Numbness and tingling - Limited mobility - Pain or discomfort - Degeneration of surrounding muscles, nerves, and bones Did you know that a subluxation is a partial dislocation of the spinal cord? You can probably guess that the pain is no walk in the park. Subluxations are identified through a chiropractic exam, which consists of manual palpation and x-rays. During the manual exam, Dr. Cleary will check the alignment of your pelvis, joints, and spine. Depending
