Four Elements Of A Vertebral Subluxation

1. Misalignment with co-respondents above and below


2. Occlusion of foramen through which nerves pass


3. Pressure upon nerves


4. Interference to transmission of mental impulse supply

BJ Palmer added a fifth element to the subluxation in 1933

5. 3 directional torque misalignment

A subluxation causes dis-ease and dis-ease left unchecked for a significant period of time leads to specific disease processes. In order for the subluxation to manifest into a sick condition, time is necessary.
