2. What Are Joint Restrictions, Misalignments, or Subluxations, and What Causes Them?
Doctors refer to the condition of joint misalignment or restriction as the "vertebral subluxation complex" or "subluxation."

Subluxations are problematic because when spinal or extremity joints become restricted or misaligned, tension is created in the body. Tension anywhere in the body causes pain and altered nervous system function. These pain signals cause your nerves to become irritated, which causes more pain, more tension, and muscle spasm. Because your central nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body, subluxations can cause a wide range of health problems and symptoms including: asthma, allergies, ulcers & reflux, anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

Many factors of modern living can cause your joints and muscles to become tense, restricted, and misaligned. Some common causes include stress, poor posture, repetitive motions, prolonged sitting & standing without breaks, poor sleep habits, improper lifting, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, and poor form during exercise and at the gym.
