Mr. M came in the office this morning with his wife.
He's got numbness from his neck down to his fingers.
He's got degeneration in the discs of his neck and arthritits has begun forming.
A recent MRI revealed several disc bulges as well.
There is in chiropractic a phrase that I hate using: a limitation of matter.
It basically means "it is what it is."
When a tire on an automobile is wearing out, you can patch it or you can replace it.
Unfortunately, there are no replacement spines.
Many people still don't quite understand what a chiropractor does.
It's not voodoo.
It's about structure and function. Good structure=Good Function. Poor structure=Poor Function.
It's pretty much that easy.
Our bodies are designed for motion. Through stress or trauma, the vertebrae can sometimes become stuck.
This results in lack of motion, inflammation, stress on the nervous system, and yes, sometimes, pain.
Mr. M may end up in an orthopedist's office talking about surgery.
I only wished he would have taken care of himself earlier in life.
Wisdom is learning from other's mistakes so you don't have to make them.
By the way, wasn't Pink Floyd a great band?
