In 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.
This is a representation of one type of subluxation. A subluxation, as defined by the Association of Chiropractic Colleges is: "A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health."
Below are some of the foremost experts in chiropractic who have taken the time to answer some of the more common questions. Author: Dr. Jeff Slocum Description: In this video Dr. Slocum describes why some people get sick more often than others. He describes how body balance affects your ability to remain health and the role chiropractic plays in this dynamic.
Chiropractors do not claim to treat infectious diseases. What chiropractic does is allow your body to function free of nerve system interference and closer to your full potential. Understanding the spread of infectious disease and how best to defend yourself can lessen the fear as well as your chances of being impacted by infectious pathogens.
The aging process is inevitable. But getting on in years does not have to mean the loss in our quality of life. Good health is essential to enjoying our later years. Having good health at an older age is not a matter of chance. There are many things that contribute to good health and an enjoyable life.

I sought chiropractic care because of migraines and neck pain. I am so grateful to have walked into Dr. Chris’ chiropractic care at New England Family Chiropractic! The first thing I experienced was a sense of trust, safety and knowingness that I was at the right place. My sense of well-being has improved, migraines and neck pain almost completely gone! Dr. Chris’ chiropractic skills are outstanding to say the least. He is the “spine whisperer” :) The best!

NEFC is the best Chiropractic and Wellness facility I've ever been to after more that 20 years of chiropractic care. Dr. Chris Thornell offers a "complete" approach to providing care for his patients. My first visit was a consultation to determine what area of my spine was affecting my radiating back pain. No guess work here. Dr Thornell got it right immediately. He also sent me home with a DVD player and instructional videos to watch. Dr Thornell also provides his patients with You Tube videos. Who does that ? Talk about caring for your patients !!! I highly recommend that you check this facility

Dr Chris is great! He takes the time to do a full exam and get to the root cause of your pain. I’ve been dealing with neck, shoulder and pelvic pain for years. He has worked his magic and relieved pain in areas where I’ve tried everything from topicals to pills. I highly recommend seeing him and sticking with a treatment regimen. Debi, his administrative assistant, is also wonderful and truly cares about every patient!

First, I found Dr. Chris by searching for chiropractic care and I am very thankful for the honest positive reviews that influenced my decision. I had been suffering from sciatic nerve pain for some length of time and costly numerous test were not giving any relief of the discomfort. Decided to give Dr. Chris a try and am very thankful I did! He listens and incorporates all necessary steps towards the importance of a healthy spin and nerves. His weekly emails are so informative: proper stretches, recipe, importance of supplements/nutrition, and music selection (look forward to this every week).

I’ve loved being a patient of Dr Thornell’s. His whole body approach to issues that you may be having is something I’ve never experienced in chiropractic care before. I appreciate the work that I can do at home to rehab my imbalances to prevent further injury. I like collaborating with him on my care and you can’t beat the office environment. You feel like a member of the family. Thanks to everyone at New England Family Chiro!

Dr Chris has helped my family stay healthy ever since we started seeing him a few years ago. He has helped my youngest son avoid more ear surgery. The added bonus is both of my kids love coming here. They said, “ Dr Chris and Debbie are really nice and funny.” They also said, “ They do lots of fun projects and contest for everyone.”

I have been going to Dr Chris for over a year now. Chiropractic care has helped me stay healthy and feeling better. Dr chris is very knowledgeable in chiropractic care. but also general wellness. I have never met any Dr that genuinely cares about his patients as much as he does. Do you body a favor and visit his office.
