Spine Misalignment
A misaligned spine can cause many issues:
-
You have limited movement and reduced function.
-
Although you can still move and function, the limitation is always there.
-
The vertebral joints and discs break down and degenerate.
-
Your nervous system is compromised and dysfunctional.
-
Sensation, movement, circulation, digestion, respiration, reproduction,
cognition and emotion can be effected.
Symptoms originating from, related to and influenced by:
Structural Symptoms:
-
Involving the muscles, joints and discs of your neck, back and pelvis.
-
From the uneven stress on the spinal disc from the misalignment the disc goes through five stages: wedge, bulge, protrude, herniated and rupture.
-
Also involved are your shoulders, hips and knees.
-
Your symptoms can include stiffness, cramping, pain, numbness, tingling, shaking, lack of sensation, weakness, inflammation and degeneration.
Symptoms related to the nervous system:
-
Other problems relate to the mechanical tension on your brain, brain stem, spinal cord and the nerves exiting your spine and their functions that they control and regulate.
-
Your symptoms related directly to the nervous system can include seizures, learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches and disequilibrium.​
Symptoms related to the functions regulated and controlled by the nerves:
-
Other symptoms can include respiratory complications (allergies, asthma and shortness of breath), digestive disturbances (acid reflux, indigestion, IBS, spastic colon), circulatory problems (cold hands or feet), reproductive problems (dysmenorrhea, infertility, ED), hormone imbalances and altered body chemistry.
-
Weakened body functions can also set the stage for infections and dis-ease and reduces the body’s natural ability to heal from many diseases and conditions.
-
Loss of normal functioning of the Nerves can limit the ability of the body to heal from trauma and to use all of its resources to fight and heal from diseases. Correcting the spinal misalignment is not a treatment for cancer, diabetes or Parkinson’s disease, but a normally functioning nervous system is necessary to allow the body to effectively deal with these and many other diseases.
