I suppose so as that is what a chiropractor searches for prior to giving an adjustment...At least one that is thorough. Vertebral subluxation is a term used in the chiropractic community to justify what it is that they do. Chiropractors historically believed that the vertebral column "out of alignment" is the cause of many diseases.
