It a very common condition and usually occurs in women and adults aged 40 or older.

Subluxation occurs at any age and some of the causes are physical, toxins and stress. Subluxation can be caused by trauma due to physical impact and this can occur while playing sports or while sleeping in a bad position. It can also result from toxins due to poor diet because chemicals can throw your internal balance off and cause the muscles to contract. Stress is another possible cause of subluxation because tension can cause the muscles around the neck and upper back to tighten.
