Vertebral Subluxation Part 7
INTRODUCTION The brain stem and spinal cord are the primary pathways for nerve impulses to and from the brain. Messages back and forth through these nerves control the health and function of virtually every other cell, tissue, organ, and system of... Read More

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY(Abnormal function of the spine and body.) When there is malfunction or trauma to a joint, one of the ways the body responds is by stabilizing the area by growing new bone! Over time, calcium deposits can build up, eventually recognizable as... Read More

HISTOPATHOLOGY(Abnormal soft tissue function) When there is spinal joint malfunction, the discs, ligaments, and other connective tissues are affected, too. While technically you can't have a "slipped" disc, the soft pulpy discs that separate each spinal vertebra can tear, bulge, herniate, and... Read More

MYOPATHOLOGY(Abnormal muscle function) When muscle function is impaired from too much or too little nerve supply, muscles that support the spine respond in different ways. When nerve impulses are diminished, muscles supporting the spine can weaken and atrophy. When muscles are over stimulated... Read More

NEUROPATHOPHYSIOLOGY(Abnormal nervous system function) Because of the way your spine is designed, abnormal spinal function can rub, pinch, irritate, or choke the delicate tissues of the spinal cord and nerve roots. While commonly associated with spinal problems, the pinched nerve (compressive lesion)... Read More

SPINAL KINESIOPATHOLOGY(Abnormal motion or position of spinal bones.) The bones of the spine are designed to move, while at the same time protecting the spinal cord and nerve roots. But, sometimes they become "stuck," don't move enough, or they move too... Read More
