    A subluxation refers to a disruption, dislocation or misalignment of a joint within the vertebral column that impinges on the function of the nervous system. Subluxation practitioners believe that getting a spinal adjustment realigns the joint / bone and improves mobility. There is contentious debate between subluxation techniques and theories and whether it is valid practice.
