Despite the resiliency of the spine, problems often arise.

When, for example, the natural curves of the spine are pushed beyond their limits, we experience a hyperlordosis, a condition characteristic of a slumped posture. People with pot bellies or poor abdominal muscles experience this. In hyperlordosis, the spine is straightened, and the disks between the vertebrae are allowed to bulge backward.

One of the main problems chiropractic addresses is subluxation, or the misalignment of vertebrae. D.D. Palmer wrote that subluxation “perpetuates disease.” Today, we know that misalignment can cause imbalances in the nervous impulses channeled through the spine. The result of subluxation is often an overabundance of nervous signals. (more…)

Although there is still friction between mainstream medicine and chiropractic, there is also growing acceptance. In the last twenty years, the number of chiropractors in the U.S. has increased by 48 percent, resulting in more than 58,000 in practice today. Some surveys estimate that around 40 million Americans visited a chiropractor in 1997.

Why such a dramatic increase? Part of the answer lies in the willingness of insurance companies to pay for chiropractic treatments. In the last few decades, too, favorable legislation has paved the way. (more…)

First, ask yourself the following questions to get an idea of your spinal health:

1) Do your heels wear out unevenly? This may indicate an uneven leg length, which will cause stress along the spine.
2) Do you “crack” your neck, back or other joints frequently? If so, your spinal column may be out of alignment, forcing other joints to compensate and pop frequently.
