Subluxation Treatment in Manhattan, IL
Restore Alignment. Restore Health.
At Freedom Family Chiropractic in Manhattan, IL, we help patients get to the root of chronic pain, poor posture, and nervous system dysfunction by addressing one core issue: subluxation. A subluxation is more than just a misaligned vertebra — it’s a spinal imbalance that can disrupt your body’s natural ability to function, heal, and thrive.
Our doctors, Dr. Justine Johnson and Dr. Andrew Garner, are certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP)—the most researched chiropractic technique for detecting and correcting spinal subluxations with lasting, measurable results.

What Is a Subluxation?
A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment or abnormal movement of a spinal vertebra that interferes with nerve communication and spinal integrity. This interference can cause localized pain, but more importantly, it may impact how your brain communicates with your body.
Unlike a dislocation, which is severe and visible on emergency imaging, subluxations are subtle and often go undiagnosed in standard medical exams. They can develop gradually from:
- Poor posture
- Repetitive motion or sedentary lifestyle
- Auto accidents or whiplash
- Childhood falls or sports injuries
- Emotional stress or trauma
Over time, if left uncorrected, subluxations can lead to degenerative disc disease, nerve dysfunction, and chronic illness.
Symptoms of Spinal Subluxation
You don’t have to feel pain to have a subluxation. In fact, many subluxations go unnoticed until they begin to affect overall health.
Common symptoms include:
- Chronic neck or back pain
- Headaches or migraines
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
- Poor posture or spinal imbalance
- Fatigue or low energy
- Digestive or immune issues
- Limited range of motion
These symptoms are warning signs that the communication between your brain and body is being disrupted.
How We Diagnose and Correct Subluxations
We don’t guess—we test. Our approach to subluxation care starts with a comprehensive evaluation, including:
- Postural and neurological analysis
- Digital X-rays (if clinically necessary)
- Range of motion and spinal mobility tests
- Review of lifestyle, symptoms, and history
We then use Chiropractic BioPhysics® protocols to measure spinal alignment and map out a customized correction plan. CBP is the only chiropractic method proven to restore normal spinal curves and improve structural function over time.
Our Subluxation Treatment Plan
Each plan is tailored to your body, lifestyle, and long-term goals, and may include:
- Precise spinal adjustments to realign vertebrae
- Mirror-image traction therapy to retrain soft tissues
- Custom corrective exercises to stabilize results
- Home care guidance to support healing outside the clinic
Rather than offering temporary relief, our goal is to correct the underlying problem and prevent future breakdown.
Benefits of Correcting Subluxation
Removing spinal interference is like removing static from a radio—you start to function at your best again.
Patients often experience:
- Relief from pain and tension
- Increased energy and vitality
- Improved posture and spinal mobility
- Better focus, sleep, and mood
- Enhanced immune and digestive function
- Long-term prevention of degeneration
When your spine is aligned, your body is empowered to heal itself naturally.
