Condition Overview
A vertebral subluxation is a partial dislocation or misalignment of one or more vertebrae, which can cause abnormal pressure on the spinal nerves or spinal cord. Misalignments may arise from poor posture, trauma, or degenerative changes in the spine, leading to localized discomfort or radiating pain if nerves are irritated.
While some cases of subluxation remain stable and cause minimal symptoms, others can progress and contribute to chronic pain, limited range of motion, or ongoing nerve-related issues such as numbness or weakness.
