What's Wrong? | ||
| Your examination revealed areas of your spine that are malfunctioning. This often results in nervous system compromise, impairment to the muscles that support the spine, damage to soft tissues of the spine, and sets motion a degenerative process. Researchers refer to this five-part problem as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex | |||
The vertebral subluxation complex can be very difficult to understand. Below
are a detail explanation and analogies to the five areas of spinal disease.
|
|||
|
Abnormal Nervous System Function
|
|||
|
Nerves can be choked like traffice congestion at the site of an accident or breakdown. |
Neuro-Pathophysiology Improper motion or position of spinal bones can rub, irritate, pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This can impair the function of the tissues, organs, and systems controlled by these nerves. |
Nerves can become overexcited and hyper-active like the commotion on the trading floor of a stock exchange. |
|
|
Abnormal Muscle Function
|
|||
|
Muscles that support the spine can be damaged with grstle and scar tissue, like a cheap cut of meet. |
Myopathology Muscles supporting the spine can weaken and atrophy, or become tight and go into spasm. Unfortunately, scar tissue and adhesions penetrate these malfunctioning muscles, changing their elasticity. |
Like the stronger team, overdeveloped muscles on one side of your spine can cause individual spinal bones to twist and lose proper function |
|
|
Abnormal SOFT TISSUE Function
|
|||
|
The inflammation and rise in temperature from soft tissue damage is a lot like a bad sunburn |
Histopathology Discs, ligaments, and other soft tissues can malfunction, too. These important soft tissues have a poor blood supply, so proper healing often requires continued care even after the relief of obvious symptoms. |
Like soft ice cream filling, discs can bulge, tear, or herniate , putting pressue on sensitive nerves. |
|
|
Abnornal Function of the SPINE
and BODY
|
|||
|
If neglected, joints of the spine not moving properly can fuse into a solid block of calcium, like mineral deposit in a cave. |
The body responds with bone spurs and spinal decay, fusing malfuncting spinal joins. Degenerative changes can be seen in other organs and tissues which have been deprived of normal nerve control.
|
Jagged bone spurs can form, irritaing surrounding soft tissues. |
|
|
Abnormal motion of position
of SPINAL BONES
|
|||
|
Like the tires on your car, without proper alignment your spine can experience uneven wear and tear |
Spinal Kinesiopathology Physical trauma such as improper lifting, car accidents, repetitive motions, and poor sleeping habits can cause spinal problems. Emotional stress and chemical imbalances are common culprits, too |
Like the coordinated strokes of these oarsmen, each spinal joint must move properly for optimum health. |
