SPINAL DECAY  

Your body adapts to uncorrected spinal stress by depositing calcium into affected joints. As if the body is trying to mend a broken bone, it attempts to “repair” the malfunctioning spinal joint by joining the two segments together! This slow, relentless, degenerative process is called “spinal decay.”

It starts with some type of uncorrected trauma to the spine: A slip or fall, a car accident or even learning to walk. Even the birth process may be responsible. The first phase is revealed as a loss of proper spinal curve or a reduced ability to turn and bend. Other areas often compensate, starting a chain reaction of health problems. Left uncorrected, the body responds by depositing calcium onto the affected joint surfaces, ligaments, and connective tissues. When left untreated, the integrity of the spine can ultimately become permanently compromised.

The purpose of chiropractic care is to locate areas of the spine that are not working right, and uses specific adjustments to improve its function and structure. This simple but powerful intervention has helped millions overcome the crippling effects of spinal decay.
