D.D. Palmer stated that the cause of subluxation are the 3 T’s: trauma, toxins, thoughts; which can either directly or indirectly affect the spine and nervous system.
Trauma is the most obvious cause of subluxation. We refer to trauma as any physical injury that impact the spine: car accident, fall, child birth, sports injury, etc.
Toxins are substances that go into our body (processed foods) and substances our body produces that lead to our bodies reacting differently creating imbalances in our spine.
Thoughts is not the most obvious cause of subluxation but most commonly the number one cause of subluxation. Our thoughts: stress, worry, watching the news, etc. can really impact our bodies.It is important to have your spine checked to make sure your nervous system is functioning optimally to live your healthiest life.
