Can an X-ray diagnose a spinal deformity?

Chiropractic care is a great first line of defense against a job that requires prolonged sitting or standing.


Also, implementing a 10 minute full body stretching routine that you do every single day would be a great adjunct to chiropractic care. You can search Google or YouTube and find several different routines with varying degrees of difficulty.


Great question!


Respectfully,

My father is suffering from severe back pain. Can it be treated with manual adjustment of the spine?

Absolutely worth it to get him to a chiropractor immediately. Research has shown time and again that chiropractic is as effective (if not more) as any other treatment out there. READ MORE

Be sure to take him to a doctor that takes x-rays so that the position and condition of his spine can be assessed with as much precision as possible.
Great question.

That would require a more in-depth look by a professional. A chiropractor could x-ray you and may have suggestions on how to correct any misalignment in the shoulder, thoracic spine (midback), and/or scapula. It is a very real possibility that you shoulder blade appears to be broader due to improper biomechanical alignment that rotates that broader shoulder blade inward.

Chiropractic care is meant to be enjoyed throughout life.

Yes if you stop the progress will slowly be lost, just like if you stopped working out your body will decondition.

The spine is always under stress and regular chiropractic care is requisite if one hopes to enjoy the benefits of optimal spinal health into the future.

I urge you to see health insurance like car insurance: Aflac does not pay for tire rotations, oil changes, etc. They only cover catastrophic events. This is what health insurance is meant for also!

Health insurance will not cover your gym membership, yoga membership, etc.
I urge you to see chiropractic care as a necessity for maintenance of optimal health. Think of it as one of the most important memberships you will ever have!

Thanks for the great question!

Absolutely!

You must ask yourself: "where do the muscles attach?"

To the bones! Namely in the spine! Massage will help release muscle tension, but getting adjusted with some regularity will better align the structure (spine) the that muscles attach to, helping the massages last longer and promoting better health and overall function!

At least go get checked! Your body will improve drastically.

Conditions involving the low back can be stealthy and can develop every so slowly over time.

The straw that broke the camel's back is a saying that has some truth to it. Sometimes it only takes a tiny force in the spine to produce symptoms.

I would get your lower back examined and adjusted by a chiropractor at your earliest convenience.

In patients I have worked on in the past, spina bifida has not been a risk factor for lowered fertility.

Spina bifida literally just means "bi-fid spinous" which means the tip of the spinal bone is divided into two pieces rather than the usual one piece.
