Neck & Back Pain: Why Disc Degeneration & Degenerative Joint Disease Is Not Far Behind?

Abnormal shifts or deviations within the inner frame work of the body may be the true underlying cause of these common Secondary Conditions (Symptoms):

• Neck & Back Pain
• Sciatica & Hip Pain
• Numbness & Tingling
• Muscular Spasm & Tension
• Headaches (Including Migraine)
• Pinched Nerve (N.I.S.)
• Herniated Disc
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Degenerative Joint Disease
• Decreased Range of Motion
• Poor posture
• Dizziness/Vertigo
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 We all know that the human body has a normal temperature, a normal range for blood pressure, and normal eyesight, but most of us are unaware that the same applies when it comes to the inner framework of the body.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic who focuses on Structural Correction which is a branch of chiropractic that is different than conventional chiropractors, our focus is these abnormal spinal deviations. We work with you so that those little "once in a while" issues don't turn into a major debilitating condition.

Disc Degeneration and Degenerative Joint Disease, how does it happen?

It is not related to age or heredity. Think of your spinal bones as coral. Coral changes shape due to pressure, this is what happens to your spinal bones - the abnormal pressure degenerates or damages the spinal bone. Your disc is much like a hockey puck, very strong and not at all like a jelly doughnut. The spinal bones change with the abnormal pressure, this causes the abnormal motion of your spinal bones. The abnormal motion contributes to the damage of the disc, basically causing the discs to dry out or dessicated. This leaves them vulnerable to bulging and herniation.

In addition, the abnormal deviations cause nerve irritation. Your nerves are continuously sending signals about your body position to your brain and your brain sends orders to your muscle to respond.  If the message going to your brain is garbled then the information coming from your brain to your muscle will be garbled. Just look at a persons abnormal posture, which is a Secondary Condition caused by abnormal deviations of the spine. When a person is in a hunched position, this is an indicator of A.H.S. or Anterior Head Syndrome, which will lead to abnormal pressure on the spinal bones and discs. This abnormal positioning will lead to back and neck pain.

When your inner frame work is with in normal range, your spine can handle the pressure which relieves the pressure on your discs and improves the back and neck pain. This also helps your nerve system to function correctly and helps your body function at optimal.



Have a Great Day
