What is a chiropractic subluxation?

Subluxation in medicine usually means a partial or incomplete dislocation. For example, if someones knee dislocates and then immediately goes back into place it is considered subluxed. I'm not sure why you have chiropractic in your question but I would assume that chiropractic subluxation is when you go to see a chiropractor and have him/her attempt to repair your subluxed body part.
