The purpose of chiropractic care is to detect and correct vertebral subluxations, which are slight misalignments and fixations, that compromise the function of your nervous system. While that is the more technical meaning, when you break down the word sub-lux-a-tion, you arrive at a meaning that is quite profound. The word sub- is a prefix meaning "less than." Lux is the Latin word for light. And -tion is a suffix that means "the state of." If you put that all together, the word subluxation literlally means "a state of less light." I often see people coming in for the first time looking dull and as they improve they seem to brighten. It's always a wonderful thing to witness.
