SUBLUXATION/SPINAL CORD TENSION

What is Spinal Cord Tension (Subluxation)?
Spinal Cord Tension (Subluxation) occurs when there is a stretching, elongation or twisting of the tissues anchoring the spinal cord to the top and bottom of the spine (meninges). This causes the body to lose control of the bones and muscles of the spine.

And what cause them:
When your Nerve system is unable to adapt to stress it may store the effects of that stress as Adverse Mechanical Cord Tension (Subluxation); a twisting and elongation of the spinal cord.
