To Do About Them)

We all know that the spine is a critical aspect
of the human body. Comprised of 33 intricately
connected vertebrae, it serves as an extension of
the Central Nervous System, constantly sending
complex messages from the brain to the rest of
the body. Misalignments of the spinal column
create a cascading affect, disrupting
communication between systems and hindering the
natural function of the body. Individuals may
experience a host of misaligned spine symptoms
without realizing that the root cause is in the
spine.

1. Pain disrupts daily life. Back and neck pain,
headaches, and perpetually sore muscles may be
common, but they are not normal. These are
often caused by subluxation, or misalignment, of
the spine. When vertebrae are tilted, turned, or
compressed, this often leads to dysfunction of
the Central Nervous System (CNS) and can cause a
variety of painful conditions. If back and neck
pain disrupts a patients daily activities, a
spinal misalignment is likely a factor.

2. Posture appears uneven. In some cases, spinal
abnormalities are clearly visible simply by
evaluating posture. If the shoulders or hips are
crooked, even when the patient feels that he is
standing up straight, this is one of the more
obvious misaligned spine symptoms. Conditions
such as Scoliosis (sideways spinal curvature) are
more common than people realize however, there
are a variety of other conditions, such as
Lordosis (inward lower back curvature) or
Kyphosis (rounded upper back). All of these can
be helped by routine chiropractic care.

3. Stiffness affects range of motion. Whether an
individual types all day at a desk or operates
heavy machinery at a construction site, posture
and ergonomics can have a significant impact on
spinal health. Over time, improper body mechanics
can cause spinal misalignments. In many cases,
this will lead to stiffness of the back and neck
because the bones get used to not moving properly
and adhesions (bands of scar tissue) form between
vertebrae. Hindered range of motion generally
follows, making simple tasks like bending over
challenging and painful. If stiffness is a
regular concern, the patient likely has need of
adjustment not only to align the spine, but also
to break up adhesions and improve range of motion.

4. Movement creates discomfort. Healthy,
well-aligned spines are generally stronger and
more flexible than those that are improperly
aligned. In the field of chiropractic care, it is
extremely common for patients to learn of their
need for adjustment only after attempting a new
type of physical activity. Whether they decide to
give running a try or simply attempt a demanding
house project, these individuals find that the
stress of new activity brings to light the
reality that they have a misaligned spine.

5. Illness becomes commonplace. While everyone
gets sick from time to time, one of the
little-known symptoms of a misaligned spine is
frequent illness. This occurs because the
disruption of the Central Nervous System hinders
immune function. Without a strong immune system,
the body becomes much more susceptible to any and
all infections which are present in the
environment. 6. Fatigue hinders performance.
Individuals with a misaligned spine may suffer
from excessive fatigue, even when they are
technically rested and healthy. The simple answer
for why this happens is that an unbalanced spine
drains energy. If a patient gets plenty of
regular sleep but still feels exhausted or unable
to perform daily tasks, it is possible that
spinal misalignment is a contributing factor. For
these patients, chiropractic care can have a
profound affect on their overall sense of
wellbeing, offering increased energy and an
improved outlook.

10. Cracking feels necessary. When misalignment
exists within the body, an individual may feel
the need to regularly crack his back, neck,
fingers, etc. This will result in a temporary
feeling of relief however, it does nothing to
correct the underlying misalignment. In fact,
cracking his own joints or spine can actually
cause a patient further harm, making chiropractic
care even more necessary. The good news is that
for patients who experience symptoms of spinal
misalignment, there are a number of effective and
non-invasive treatment options available.
