"Subluxation" is a term used by some chiropractors to describe a spinal vertebra that is out of position in comparison to the other vertebrae, possibly resulting in functional loss and determining where the chiropractor should manipulate the spine.
The Vertebral Subluxation Complex is identified by: 1) A loss of normal position and movement of a spinal vertebra. 2) Irritation to delicate nerve tissue. 3) Muscles that are either tight and spasmed, or weak and atrophied, resulting from structural imbalance and nerve irritation.

This migration of the humeral head upward is also called a superior subluxation because the ball is not in its proper position (subluxed). In some individuals the humeral head may not only migrate upward, but it may also migrate toward the front of the shoulder (called anterior migration or subluxation) as well.
A shoulder subluxation occurs when the humerus partially slides in and out of place quickly (Figure 2). Shoulder dislocations occur when the humerus comes all the way out of the glenoid (Figure 3). It may fall back into place after time or may need to be put back into place with medical assistance.
A Hill-Sachs lesion is a fracture in the long bone in the upper arm (humerus) that connects to the body at the shoulder. You doctor might have discovered this condition if you've experienced a dislocated shoulder. In this case, the arm bone slips out of the socket and is compressed against the socket's rim.
