A subluxation is a term used to describe spinal/nerve dysfunction. It is important to understand that the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column very much like a guitar string and like a guitar string needs to be tuned from time to time. The tone of this spinal cord sets the tone for every cell, tissue and organ in the body. The fact is that the brain and spinal cord make up the most important part of your nervous system as they act as your main controller unit by sending information to and from every subsystem in your body. The spinal cord is the information super highway to your brain where messages can be interpreted and sent out to the body.
