<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">Subluxations negatively affect the function of the nervous system. This is why they are considered to be a threat to the body. Not only do they weaken our natural self-healing ability but they also deteriorate our overall health and wellness. Because of this, correcting subluxations has become the principal goal of chiropractic over the years. To help them in their goal, chiropractors focus on the factors that cause them— these are the Three T's of subluxations.</span></p>
&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">In the early 1900’s, Daniel David Palmer identified the causes of vertebral subluxation. These are trauma, toxins and thoughts (The Three T’s). Unknown to us, these 3 factors can negatively impact our body’s function by causing subluxations to occur. Let’s look at them one by one.</span></p>
&nbsp;
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">The 1st T: TRAUMA (physical)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">Among the three factors, trauma is perhaps the easiest to understand. Believe it or not, your body experiences traumas every day. Regular actions such as improper sleeping position, incorrect lifting, or poor posture while walking and sitting can produce micro traumas that you won’t be able to notice because of the lack of pain.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 50px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1463 aligncenter" alt="three t's of subluxation - 1st T - physical trauma" src="http://northshorechiro.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Physical-trauma.jpg" width="1011" height="331"></p>
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">Other cases of physical trauma can be caused when you apply force. These are the ones that will inflict pain. Example is when you experience an overexertion of muscles or body parts—like wearing high heels or continuously carrying a heavy bag on the same side of your body.There is also a more damaging kind of trauma which refers to physical instances such as motor vehicle accidents, work injuries, falls, and sudden body shock.</span></p>
&nbsp;
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">The 2nd T: TOXINS (chemical)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">These are the chemicals that you take in through food, drinks and environment. Depending on what you take, these substances can positively or negatively react with your body. Spinal dysfunction for example, are caused by bad substances that brings negative chemical imbalance in your nerves. When our body is chemically imbalanced, our muscles usually contract thus resulting to subluxations.</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">If you do not take care of your body, harmful toxins may get into your body easily. Having a poor diet or lifestyle is a major problem in our generation today. Drinking not enough water, eating processed/ GMO foods and vices such as drinking, smoking and drugs cause imbalance that can negatively affect your nervous system and your body as a whole. </span></p>
&nbsp;
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">The 3rd T: THOUGHTS (emotional)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 50px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d1d1d1;">Thoughts or emotional stress also affect the functioning of your spine. As stress can occur at any time, it can be considered as the number one cause of subluxations. Think about it: in our everyday life it is almost impossible not to encounter any stress. From traffic jams to important deadlines, and even family and marital problems—they can all lead to headaches and anxiety. When emotional stress is triggered in your brain, chemical imbalance can also happen in the body. It will tense up your muscles and joints, and if not attended to, can lead to subluxation degeneration.</span></p>
