A subluxation or VSC occurs when a bone of the spine or other area of the body loses its

normal position.

This loss of normal position affects the nervous system resulting in abnormal

Let’s begin by looking at some Let’s begin by looking at some basic anatomy which is necessary basic anatomy which is necessary for your complete understanding.for your complete understanding.

The human spine consists of 24 The human spine consists of 24 separate moveable bones called: separate moveable bones called:

VertebraeVertebrae


There are There are 77 vertebrae in your vertebrae in your neckneck, , which is known as your which is known as your Cervical Cervical

These nerves go on to supply all of the various

organs, muscles, and tissues of your body.

Now consider one more fact:Now consider one more fact:
