Subluxation Treatment in San Jose
Understanding Subluxation and Its Impact on Spinal Health
A subluxation occurs when a vertebra in the spine shifts out of alignment, disrupting normal nerve function and creating tension in the musculoskeletal system. This misalignment can lead to pain, reduced mobility, muscle stiffness, and even issues with overall body function due to nerve interference. Subluxations can develop from poor posture, repetitive strain, or trauma, and if left untreated, they may contribute to long-term spinal degeneration. Chiropractic care, led by Dr. Benson, provides a targeted, non-invasive approach to realigning the spine and restoring optimal function.

Common Causes of Spinal Subluxation
Subluxations can develop due to various factors, including:
- Poor Posture – Slouching, prolonged sitting, or improper ergonomics put stress on the spine.
- Trauma or Injury – Car accidents, falls, or sports injuries can force vertebrae out of alignment.
- Repetitive Motion and Overuse – Repeated strain from work, exercise, or daily activities can misalign the spine.
- Muscle Imbalances – Weak or overly tight muscles pull on the spine unevenly, leading to misalignment.
- Chronic Stress – Tension and emotional stress can cause muscles to tighten, affecting spinal positioning.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Subluxation
While some subluxations cause noticeable discomfort, others can go undetected until they contribute to more significant health problems. Symptoms may include:
- Localized or Radiating Pain – Discomfort in the back, neck, or extremities due to nerve compression.
- Muscle Stiffness or Weakness – Tightness or fatigue in affected muscle groups.
- Headaches and Migraines – Nerve interference from spinal misalignment can trigger tension headaches.
- Numbness or Tingling – Sensations of pins and needles in the arms, legs, or hands due to nerve irritation.
- Limited Range of Motion – Difficulty bending, twisting, or performing normal movements.
- Poor Posture and Spinal Imbalance – Noticeable misalignment in standing or sitting posture.
