Primary Subluxation 101

At Keystone Chiropractic in Riverton, Utah, our mission is to provide comprehensive care that addresses the root causes of discomfort and promotes overall wellness. One of the primary issues we focus on is primary subluxation. Understanding and addressing primary subluxation through neurologically-based chiropractic care can significantly improve your health and quality of life.

What is Primary Subluxation?

Primary subluxation refers to a specific type of spinal misalignment where one or more vertebrae in the spine are displaced or out of alignment, leading to interference with the nervous system. This misalignment can disrupt the normal flow of nerve impulses, affecting the function of various organs and systems in the body. The consequences of untreated primary subluxations can include pain, reduced mobility, and a variety of health issues.

Common symptoms associated with primary subluxation include:

• Back or neck pain
• Headaches or migraines
• Muscle tension or spasms
• Numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Decreased range of motion
• General fatigue or malaise

The Impact of Primary Subluxation on Health

The spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which is a critical component of the nervous system. When a vertebra is out of alignment, it can put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves that branch out from it. This pressure can lead to impaired nerve function, which can affect communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

The impact of primary subluxation on health can be far-reaching, potentially leading to issues such as:

• Chronic pain conditions
• Digestive problems
• Respiratory issues
• Weakened immune function
• Poor posture and biomechanics
• Emotional and mental health challenges

How Neurologically-Based Chiropractic Care Addresses Primary Subluxation

Neurologically-based chiropractic care focuses on identifying and correcting subluxations to restore proper nervous system function and promote overall health. At Keystone Chiropractic, we use advanced techniques and tools to assess and address primary subluxations effectively.

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment to identify the presence and extent of any subluxations. This may include:

• Detailed health history: Understanding your symptoms and health concerns
• Physical examination: Assessing posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment
• Neurological evaluation: Testing reflexes, muscle strength, and sensory function
• Advanced imaging: Utilizing X-rays or other imaging techniques to pinpoint subluxations

2. Personalized Care Plan

Based on the findings of the assessment, we develop a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments: Gentle, precise adjustments to correct spinal misalignments and relieve pressure on the nervous system
• Rehabilitative exercises: Customized exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve spinal stability
• Posture correction: Guidance on maintaining proper posture to prevent future subluxations
• Lifestyle recommendations: Tips on nutrition, stress management, and ergonomics to support overall health

3. Gentle and Effective Adjustments

Regular chiropractic adjustments are the cornerstone of our approach. These adjustments are performed using gentle, controlled force to realign the vertebrae and restore proper spinal function. The techniques we use are safe and effective, suitable for individuals of all ages, from infants to seniors.

4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support

We believe in the importance of ongoing care to maintain spinal health and prevent future issues. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your care plan, and provide continuous support for your health journey.
