What Causes Subluxation?
There are many causes of subluxation, however, we can place
them in three separate categories.

Physical: This category includes serious injuries, for example,
from car accidents or a significant fall. However, physical trauma
may also include poor posture, repetitive motion, sleeping
positions and improper lifting.

Chemical: Most chemicals that adversely affect the body are
introduced through the foods we eat. These include
preservatives, pesticides, and sweeteners. The body also makes
chemicals such as epinephrine, stomach acids, hormones and
insulin. If there is a chemical imbalance, whether from external or
internal origins, subluxations can occur. 

Emotional: Stress can lead to muscle contractions, decreasing
joint motion, causing subluxation.
