Why "Lux"? Lux is the root word for light in Latin. It is referenced in the term vertebral subluxation, which is the main issue in your body that chiropractors address. A vertebral subluxation is a spinal misalignment that negatively impacts your neurology, and literally translates as from the Latin root words as "a condition of less light". At Lux Family Chiropractic, our goal is for everyone to have their nervous system function at maximum potential or, put another way, to shine the most light possible.
