There are three basic causes of subluxations, physical, emotional and chemical. Physical causes could include slips and falls, car accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotions that stress our body such as grief, anger and fear can cause subluxations. Chemical cause could include alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet.
