As RMSE as answered your question as I have never heard of this word before I knew it was medical and I even looked in the Merc Manual and it wasnt there A because its to do with Chiroprators

A subluxation may have diffferent meanings, depending on the medical speciality involved. It imples the presence of an incomplete or partial dislocation ? complete of a joint or organ. The (WHO) defines both the medical subluxation (e.g. bones, eyes, teeth, jaw) and the chiropractic usually back and nervous system..

n simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly. It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations.
