CNAC position statement on the use of the term vertebral subluxation in chiropractic practice.

The CNAC recognizes the value of the terms, “vertebral subluxation”, “spinal subluxation”, “subluxation” and “vertebral subluxation complex” when communicating, evaluating and delivering chiropractic care. The CNAC uses the term vertebral subluxation as a foundational cornerstone of the chiropractic care model to inform Canadians of all ages to advance their overall health and well being. This position aligns with the majority of practicing chiropractors who advocate towards the detection, identification and adjustment of the vertebral subluxation within their clinical approach and outcome assessments to determine care.
