Subluxations are really a combination of changes going on at the same time and are usually the reason for neck or low back pain. These changes occur both in your spine and throughout your body. For this reason chiropractors often refer to vertebral subluxations as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex", or "VSC" for short.
In the VSC, various things are happening inside your body simultaneously. These various changes, known as "components," are all part of the vertebral subluxation complex. Chiropractors commonly recognize five categories of components present in the VSC. These five are:
The osseous (bone) component is where the vertebrae are either out of position, not moving properly, or are undergoing physical changes such as degeneration. This component is sometimes known as kinesiopathology.
The Nerve Component is the malfunctioning of the nerve. Research has shown that only a small amount of pressure on spinal nerves can have a profound impact on the function of the nerves. This component is scientifically known as neuropathology.
The Muscle Component is also involved. Since the muscles help hold the vertebrae in place, and since nerves control the muscles themselves, muscles are an integral part of any VSC. In fact, muscles both affect, and are affected by the VSC. This component is known as myopathology.

Chiropractor in concord? I think I saw this on www.BartonChiro.com
It seems pretty simple to me. If your brain controls everything your body does by sending electrical impulses down your spinal cord out your nerves throughout your entire body, and pressure on a nerve can decrease nerve function. Vertebrea out of place put pressure on nerves. Then vertebrea out of place can decrease nerve function.
Decreased nerve function has to equal body function. Decreased health. equals symptoms.
