Dr.Bob,DC's Journal: Nerves and Subluxations

There seems to be some confusion as to the term "Vertebral Subluxation".
 
Many Chiropractors shun the term and instead refer to them as "misalignments", "blockages", "pinches", "pinched nerves", "pressure points" and what not.Wikipedia has a good section describing the rift.
 
It is important to remember: They are the same thing no matter what they're called. "A rose by any other name..."
 
A Doctor of Chiropractic goes through years of schooling and training in order to detect issues with the spine. Subluxations are but one facet of your overall health that is taken into account when performing a diagnosis.
