Here at The Rock, we use the term "subluxation" quite often, but what does it mean?
Your Brain receives 3 Trillion bits of information per second from your body. That's 3,000,000,000,000 pieces of information in one second. In the time it took you to read this sentence your brain has received around 27,000,000,000,000 bits of information! That information was transmitted into your brain though your Nerves. Then in a split second, your Brain processed that information, ranked it in order of importance and then sent impulses back thru your Nerves to your body to try to keep your body in balance and adapting to your environment.
In my world when the impulses traveling to and from the brain get disrupted, slowed down, blocked or altered I call that a SUBLUXATION. SUBLUXATION simply means interference in the Nervous System. The environment has in some way altered the input to the Brain or the output from the Brain causing the body to be in a state of imbalance or a state of decreased adaptability.
We categorize these environmental disruptors as Physical, Chemical or Mental / Emotional Stress.
* Physical stresses - bending, lifting, crashing, sitting, looking at our phones, riding in a car, sleeping in different beds, wearing different shoes, playing instruments, cooking, cleaning, etc..
* Chemical stresses - Herbicides, pesticides, inks, glues, perfumes, deodorants, hairspray, detergents, plastics, white sugar, white flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, carbonated water, artificial colors and sweeteners, etc..
* Mental / Emotional stresses - things that happened in the past, things we worry about happening in the future and things that are happening now.
My job as a Chiropractor is to observe how you present, listen to how you describe your environment, evaluate how it is effecting you and attempt to correct your SUBLUXATIONS. The treatment is most likely a combination of a physical adjustment and an improvement in your environment aimed at decreasing your stressors and increasing your body's ability to adapt to it.
How you move matters. What you eat matters. How you think matters.
Decreased Range of Motion (Stiffness) in your right ankle causes an imbalance of right side vs. left side brain input = SUBLUXATION. Your inability to turn you head the same distance right and left = SUBLUXATION. Slouching at a computer changes the Brain input = SUBLUXATION.
Eating Sugar increases your blood glucose levels, setting off alarms in your brain to tell your pancreas to release insulin. Being in the alarmed state fires your brain differently from right to left and decreases your ability to adapt to your environment = SUBLUXATION. Eating too many high Omega 6 foods increases Inflammation causing increased pain causing altered movement patterns = SUBLUXATION.
Imbalanced thoughts of the past or future fire the right Brain, the Limbic system including the Adrenal glands releasing Cortisol. Increased Cortisol decreases the function of your Cerebellum (the part of the brain that is responsible for Coordination, Balance and Posture). Altered Coordination, Balance and Posture changes Brain input = SUBLUXATION.
Detecting and addressing your SUBLUXATIONS and their causes is the one and only objective of the treatment of The Rock Health & Wellness Centers.
