When the spine is moved out of alignment it is possible for the bones to press against nerves, causing pain that radiates from the back to the extremities of the body. Discs may also be ruptured or compressed and allow the nerves to be pinched.

The parents whose children had died due to the chiropractic adjustments had started meeting as a support group. Whenever they could, Tabitha and N'Kole also attended. It was sad and soothing at the same time. They met at a different house or a restaurant weekly to deal with the deaths and to tell stories about their loved children.

If you do suffer from Osteoporosis, there are treatments available. Several medications such as Evista are on the market today that slow down progression. These treatments may delay bone thinning, though they won't entirely stop the process. If you're looking to treat back pain that stems from Osteoporosis, spinal decompression therapy could be a life saver. Known to reduce some of the symptoms, this treatment consists of being hooked up to a harness that is wrapped around your back. It actually sends pressure to the spine, which stretches the discs apart, causing lost blood supply and Oxygen to flood back into the area. As a result, healing begins and the constant spasms are reduced.

Two months ago, I came across an article for a product called Spinal Stretch. Developed by a Chiropractor for his patients to use at home, it works on the same basic principles of the Decompression Tables. Compared to the tables it is low tech.

It's a given that I am free to do whatever I want to do. If I choose to ignore him, I can. But, I've made a commitment to be his student, so I listen. And (for the most part) I do what he tells me. Because he's my teacher, I trust him, and he's never steered me wrong yet.

I made several trips to a Culver City Chiropractor Near Me, I never even knew what they did or what to expect. After several x-rays and back adjustments from the chiropractor I returned to work in a somewhat normal life. Unknowing to me my back pain would return. As I was walking about my yard one day I stepped wrong, like I was anticipating a step but it wasn't there. I felt the same back pain as before. It took a few days but I regained my composure and began feeling good again. This was not the last time this happened; it happen several times between my younger years and until I reached my fifties. I spent many dollars on chiropractic care, ointments, rubs, and plus time I missed from work.

This is a simple way to provide existing and new patients with valuable information not only about you but also about what chiropractic is and what it can do for them.
