Subluxation

The most common symptoms of a  dislocation are  pain and difficulty bearing weight on the affected side. The affected part  can not be moved normally, and the affected side may appear shorter and turned inwards or outwards. Some people may have numbness and weakness on the side .

Dislocation is injury to a joint that causes adjoining bones to no longer touch each other. Subluxation is a minor or incomplete dislocation in which the joint surfaces still touch but are not in normal relation to each other.

A subluxation is a condition that is typically only used by chiropractors and experts in the medical field. However, when a subluxation occurs, the entire nervous system can be disrupted, which makes the condition serious.

A subluxation is basically defined as “a partial dislocation”. It can be no less painful than a full dislocation, but the two bones that form the joint are still partially in contact with each other.

It is often the result of acute injury or repetitive motion injury but can also be caused by medical conditions that undermine the integrity of ligaments. The treatment for subluxations may include resetting the joint, pain relief, rehabilitation therapy, and, in severe cases, surgery.
