Phases of Subluxation Degeneration
Your Spine Degenerates in Stages or Phases
Disc Degeneration Phase 1
Early Spinal Degeneration – Subtle Changes with Hidden Impact
The spine begins to lose its natural alignment, often accompanied by a reduction or alteration in normal spinal curves.
This structural imbalance can affect the nervous system, disrupting the essential nerve flow that supports overall health. As a result, spinal joints, discs, and posture experience increased stress, accelerating wear and aging.
Interestingly, noticeable pain may be minimal or absent, aside from occasional mild discomfort. Other subtle signs may include slight decreases in energy levels and minor height loss. However, with appropriate spinal care, response and recovery potential are generally favorable.
Degeneration Phase 2
Advancing Spinal Degeneration – Increased Decay, Pain, and Postural Decline
In Phase 2 of Subluxation Degeneration, spinal decay becomes much more advanced, with significant disc narrowing, bone spurs (deformations), and worsening postural changes. At this stage, spinal canal narrowing or stenosis may also develop, further affecting nerve function.
This condition is extremely common—by age 40, approximately 80% of males and 76% of females show moderate disc degeneration. Aches and pains become more frequent, often accompanied by fatigue and a reduced ability to handle stress. Height loss continues as spinal deterioration progresses. Despite these changes, significant improvement is still possible with consistent chiropractic care, helping to restore function and mobility.
Degeneration Phase 3
Severe Spinal Degeneration – Advanced Damage, Disability, and Energy Loss
In Phase 3 of Subluxation Degeneration, spinal deterioration becomes severe, marked by significant postural imbalances, increased nerve damage, permanent scar tissue formation, and advanced bone deformation.
Spinal canal narrowing or stenosis may further restrict nerve function, leading to greater mobility issues.
At this stage, physical and/or mental weakness or disability may begin to develop. Permanent height loss and a noticeable decline in energy levels are common, making daily activities more challenging.
Despite the advanced degeneration, some degree of improvement is still possible with dedicated chiropractic care, helping to restore partial function and enhance overall well-being.
Degeneration Phase 4
Advanced Subluxation Degeneration – Severe Damage and Limited Function
In Phase 4 of Subluxation Degeneration, the condition reaches its most advanced stage. Postural imbalance becomes severe, and spinal motion is highly restricted.
Extensive nerve damage occurs, permanent scar tissue forms, and the bones may begin to fuse.
At this stage, pain is constant, and individuals may experience varying degrees of physical or mental disability. The continued loss of energy and height further diminishes quality of life.
While the condition is considered irreversible at this point, chiropractic care may still provide some symptomatic relief, helping to manage pain and improve comfort.
