What is the main focus of phase 2 in the unified model of VSC?

Phase 2 in the unified model of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) primarily focuses on instability. During this phase, there is an increased range of motion in conjunction with joint instability resulting from neurophysiological changes. This instability can lead to further complications and exacerbation of the symptoms associated with vertebral subluxations. Understanding instability is crucial as it relates to the ability of the spinal segment to maintain proper alignment and function, which is a key aspect of chiropractic care.

In this phase, it's important to recognize how the body responds to the altered mechanics and neurophysiology of the spine. Instability can lead to further degeneration and potential pain, highlighting the need for appropriate intervention. This emphasizes the dynamic nature of the spine and the importance of monitoring and addressing these changes in chiropractic practice.
