	Vertebral Subluxation-Centered Straight Chiropractic Research
		In brief, the vertebral subluxation is recognized to exist in the upper cervical area, either between the occiput and atlas, or atlas and lower cervical spine.
		The vertebral subluxation has a misalignment component that is measured with a very specific and repeatable x-ray analysis, and a neurological component that is detected as an imbalance in supine leg length, palpable tenderness in the suboccipital muscles, and asymmetric skin temperature in the paraspinal area.
		The bi-dimensional nature of the vertebral subluxation, its combination of articular derangement and neurological dysfunction that calls for a battery of assessments, may be the key to demonstrating its existence and validity.

	Subluxation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This degenerative chain reaction which accompanies the vertebral subluxation complex is at the root of many health problems.
		Subluxations can be caused by falls, car accidents, improper lifting, poor posture, sports injuries, sitting too long, repetitive work, sudden or violent movement, chemical or emotional stress, lack of exercise, or even hereditary factors.
		Subluxations are found at all ages, however, early stages of subluxations can be found even in very young children.

	Subluxation
		When the Vertebral Subluxation Complex is present many things can happen to the spine, muscles, tendons and ligaments and the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves.
		The primary job of the Doctor of Chiropractic is to detect, correct and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using Chiropractic spinal manipulation (the adjustment) as the primary form of treatment.
		Applying a carefully and precisely directed force exerted by his or her hands to the spine, the Doctor of Chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.

	One Step Further: The Vertebral Subluxation Syndrome \| M.I. Gatterman, MA, DC

		Instrumentation is indicated for the qualitative and/or quantitative assessment of the biomechanical and physiological components of vertebral subluxation.
		Diagnostic imaging procedures may be utilized to characterize the biomechanical manifestations of vertebral subluxation and to determine the presence of conditions which affect the safety and appropriateness of chiropractic care.
		Vertebral subluxation, not being a singular episodic event, such as a strain or sprain, may be corrected but reappear, which necessitates careful monitoring and results in a wide variation in the number of adjustments required to affect a longer-term correction.

	Evidence Based Document - Selection 1-9
		The etiology of vertebral subluxation is associated with a plethora of factors (Leach, 1986); however, since the original description, vertebral subluxation has remained a "sequential" or "unidirectional" concept.
		This line of reasoning may further be extrapolated to viewing vertebral subluxation as an adaptive strategy to any given combination of endogenous and/or exogenous events that threaten the survival of the individual.
		That is, while a state of subluxation is, in and of itself, detrimental to the body as a short-term strategy, it represents a lesser threat to survival than if the body imbibed the collective factors without subluxating.
