Vertebral displacement causes extreme pressure to build up, interfering with the nervous system, and causing pain and discomfort. Spinal misalignment can happen to anyone at any age and results from:
- Irregular physical activity and movement such as falling, accidents, improper lifting, and unusual repetitive actions
- Emotional stress and anger
- Chemical irregularities including drugs, alcohol, poor diet, and pollution.
Spinal misalignment if untreated can become increasingly worse over time, leading to more serious health issues including:
- Inflammation
- Muscle spasms and weakness
- Loss of range of motion

- Bone spurs
