The only accurate way to determine if you suffer from subluxations is to receive a chiropractic evaluation. However, a number of signs and symptoms are commonly associated with the vertebral subluxation and include: 

• Neck pain, tenderness, soreness and stiffness
• Back pain, tenderness, soreness and stiffness
• Headaches
• Dizziness or balance problems
• Spinal muscle spasm, tightness or weakness
• Reduced spinal mobility
• Pain, numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Low energy
• Poor overall state of health
• Poor tissue healing

Individuals who are not currently experiencing pain or other discomforts are not necessarily "subluxation free". As previously described, pain is a very poor indicator of disease processes, including the presence of subluxations. Subluxations are similar to cavities in that many times a significant amount of damage is present before symptoms such as pain are felt. This is why we recommend, like your dentist, that individuals seek periodic spinal evaluations to check for the presence of subluxations and other spinal abnormalities, even in the absence of pain.
