Which of the following is NOT included in Kent's 3D model of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC)?

Kent's 3D model of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) outlines three key components: displacement, pathology, and biomechanics. Each of these elements provides a thorough understanding of how a vertebral subluxation can impact overall health.

Displacement refers to the misalignment or abnormal position of a vertebra, which can impede nervous system function. Pathology encompasses the biological response and tissue changes that result from subluxation, while biomechanics examine how the altered structure can affect movement and function of the spine and surrounding tissues.

Dysfunction is a term that can describe various issues arising from the subluxation, but it is not one of the three main components specified in Kent's model. By focusing on displacement, pathology, and biomechanics, Kent’s model allows practitioners to comprehensively assess and address vertebral subluxations within chiropractic care.
