Which of the following is NOT one of the components of the 5 component model of VSC?

The five-component model of vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) includes kinesiopathology, histopathology, neuropathophysiology, and myopathology, but it does not include psychopathology.

Kinesiopathology refers to the altered movement patterns associated with vertebral subluxation. Histopathology involves the changes in tissues and cells due to subluxations. Neuropathophysiology deals with the effects of subluxations on nerve function and pathways, while myopathology relates to the issues affecting the muscular system.

While psychopathology relates to mental health and psychological well-being, it is not a direct component of the vertebral subluxation complex, which primarily addresses physiological changes and neuromuscular function rather than mental processes. Understanding these components is essential in chiropractic philosophy, as they form the basis for assessing and treating subluxations effectively.
