Subluxation and semantics: a corpus linguistics study In summary, this analysis of discourse in the CMCC curriculum suggests that three distinct but related concepts are all referred to as subluxation. Only one model is presented for the subluxation event, and this is a coherent model based on conventional anatomical and biomechanical concepts, and validated through observation and experimentation. The clinical subluxation also has a very coherent operational definition grounded in the history and symptomatology reported by patients, and the findings of conventional diagnostic techniques.17 The subluxation lesion has no single definition, as seems most appropriate, since it is likely that different tissues and processes are involved in different patients.Both in education and in professional discourse, it would likely be beneficial, when using the term subluxation, to clarify which of these three concepts is/are actual-ly under consideration.
