Correct Joint Misalignments and Improve Your Health with Subluxation Care.

Understanding Joint Subluxation: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Joint subluxation, often referred to simply as subluxation, is a condition characterized by a partial dislocation of a joint. Unlike a complete dislocation where the joint surfaces completely lose contact, subluxation involves a partial misalignment of the joint surfaces. This can occur due to various factors, including acute injury, repetitive motion injury, or certain medical conditions affecting ligament integrity.

Repetitive Motion Injury: Overuse or repetitive stress on a joint, such as in athletes or individuals performing repetitive tasks, can gradually weaken the ligaments and increase the risk of subluxation.

Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or Marfan syndrome, which affect the integrity of connective tissues and ligaments, can predispose individuals to joint subluxations

Causes of Joint Subluxation

The joint subluxation can be caused by:

Acute Injury: Sudden trauma or impact to a joint can disrupt the normal alignment of the joint surfaces, leading to subluxation.

Symptoms of Joint Subluxation

The symptoms of joint subluxation can vary depending on the severity of the misalignment and the affected joint. Common signs may include:

Pain:

Pain or discomfort in the affected joint, particularly during movement or weight-bearing activities.

Swelling:

Swelling or inflammation around the joint, indicating tissue damage or irritation.

Instability:

Feeling of instability or weakness in the joint, making it difficult to bear weight or perform activities of daily living.

Limited Range of Motion:

Decreased range of motion in the joint, accompanied by stiffness or difficulty moving the affected limb.
