Subluxation Degeneration
Subluxation degeneration is how the body responds to improperly functioning spinal joints. With early detection, appropriate chiropractic care has been shown to slow, stop, or even reverse the early stages of this process.
We can design a program of preventive care for you.
Normal
Normal curves and proper disc spacing allow normal function of the spine and nervous system.
Motion is the key to joint flexibility. Regular chiropractic care promotes proper joint function and mobility.
Phase 1 Degeneration
Usually seen as the mislignment and malfunction of the spine. Normal spinal motion, curves, and disc spacing are altered. Because the body is so adaptable, this early phase can exist without the warning of pain or other symptoms. If left uncorrected, the degeneration continues.
Phase 2 Degeneration
Recognized on xray views of the spine by visible bone spurs and rough edges of the vertebrae. Soft tissues such as discs and ligaments degenerate from the lack of normal joint movement. Again, pain or othe symptoms may not be present.
Phase 3 Degeneration
A lifetime of neglect may cause the eventual fusion of malfunctioning joints. Atrophy, permanent nerve damage, and soft tissue degeneration are prevalent. Reduced mobility and impaired nervous system function can diminish one's quality of life.
