Explanation

Subluxations refer to a condition where a joint in the body partially dislocates or moves out of its usual position. This can happen in any joint, such as the knee, hip, or even the spine. It's different from a complete dislocation because the joint surfaces still touch each other, but not in the normal way. This condition can cause pain, discomfort, and a decrease in mobility.
