Melva Mitchell Gray Why do subluxations occur? 

Melva mitchell gray chiropractic specialist in fort worth texas talk about subluxations

 Subluxations occur for the following reasons:

* Blows or trauma to the joint.
* Overload of the joint caused by poor posture or effort.
* Microtraumas produced by activities that include repetitive movements.
* Fatigue or muscular tiredness.
* Muscle tension due to physical exertion or emotional stress.
* Reflex mechanisms.
* Diseases that affect the dynamics of the joint (such as osteoarthritis and diseases that affect collagen and, therefore, weaken the joint support structures).
 

All of these conditions can cause a subluxation by producing a force on the bones that causes them to move out of place, or that makes the bones move more easily, as in the case of collagen diseases.
