Chiropractic is a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column, by hand only, for the correction of the cause of spinal conditions. We are concerned about spinal problems because it protects the spinal cord, and nerve roots. Problems in the spine can interfere with the transmission of mental impulses between the brain and tissue cells and cause dis-coordination. To have your spine checked call Sound Chiropractic Center at 206-440-7700.

What is a Subluxation? To the Chiropractor, a "vertebral subluxation" must have four elements to constitute such:

1) "the vertabra must be out of alignment in relation to its superior and inferior articulations with its immediate co-respondents above and below.

2) it must occlude the inter-spinal canal or intervertebral foramina lumen between three vertabrae, changing its size, shape, and/or circumference, reducing it's carrying capacity.

3) it must produce a constricting pressure upon the spinal cord or spinal nerve passing through the opening.

4) thereby creating interference and/or resistance to the free flow of the normal quantity of mental impulse or nerve force between brain and body". -BJ Palmer

Northgate Seattle Chiropractic and Subluxations

"Subluxations are the result of invasionary forces betwixt and between the vertebral column and outside matter. This subluxates the vertabra of the spinal column. When a vertebra is subluxated, out of normal position, makes smaller a bony opening through which nerves pass;

which, in turn, produces a pressure indirectly upon nerves that pass through that opening;

which, in turn, diminishes the quantity flow of nerve force through those nerves by interference or resistance, by constrictive compression between the brain and some portion of the body.

This energy-flow interference is because of a mechanical distortion from normal position of a vertebra in the spinal column.

This energy-flow interference reduces the quantity flow of nerve force from brain to body, affecting the quality of return feeling function from tissue cell to brain.

This reduction of quantity flow of nerve force slows speed of action of tissues attached to the ends of the nerves producing any of the many dis-eases". BJ Palmer
