Subluxation Treatment

Gentle, Targeted Adjustments to Restore Alignment and Improve Function in the Overland Park Area

What Is a Subluxation?

A subluxation is a misalignment or restricted movement of a spinal vertebra that disrupts normal nerve function and joint mechanics. Even small shifts in spinal alignment can place pressure on nearby nerves, irritate soft tissues, and compromise the body’s ability to function optimally.

We specialize in identifying and correcting subluxations using precise chiropractic adjustments. By restoring alignment and improving motion, we help reduce pain, improve posture, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.

What Causes Subluxations?

Subluxations can occur suddenly or develop gradually due to physical, chemical, or emotional stress. Common causes include:

  • Poor posture (especially from prolonged sitting or screen use)
  • Repetitive motion or overuse injuries
  • Falls, sports injuries, or auto accidents
  • Improper lifting techniques
  • Chronic stress leading to muscle tension and spinal imbalance

Left uncorrected, subluxations can contribute to chronic pain, dysfunction, and degenerative changes over time.

Signs and Symptoms of Subluxations

You may not always feel a subluxation right away, but it can still affect your health and function. Symptoms may include:

  • Localized back or neck pain
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Joint stiffness or reduced range of motion
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
  • Muscle spasms or weakness
  • Postural imbalances
  • Decreased energy or concentration

In many cases, patients notice overall improvements in their well-being once spinal subluxations are corrected.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Subluxations

Chiropractic adjustments are the primary treatment for subluxations. At Chiropractic Group of Overland Park, Dr. Stallbaumer uses precise, gentle techniques to restore alignment and relieve nerve interference.

Our approach includes:

  • Manual or instrument-assisted adjustments tailored to your needs
  • Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) for postural and structural correction
  • Spinal traction to enhance disc health and flexibility
  • Soft tissue therapies (e.g., ART® and Graston) to reduce tension
  • Rehabilitation exercises to stabilize the spine and prevent recurrence

By removing pressure from nerves and restoring normal joint mechanics, adjustments help your body heal, adapt, and thrive.
