What does the stabilization phase in VSC primarily involve?

The stabilization phase in Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) is characterized by a loss of joint mobility. During this phase, the body responds to dysfunction in the spine through a series of adaptations that can lead to structural changes and dysfunction in the surrounding tissues. As a result of these adaptations, joint mobility becomes restricted, which may contribute to stiffness and overall decreased range of motion in the affected areas. This phase is critical to understanding the progression of spinal health, as it highlights how unresolved issues can lead to long-term dysfunction and complications. Recognizing this phase is essential for practitioners in developing strategies to address and rehabilitate spinal issues effectively.
