THE SPINE

Spinal problems do not usually go away by themselves. If you think that your back or neck pain will resolve itself, think again. Studies show that misaligned vertebrae "degenerate" from years of improper alignment. Degenerated joints or spinal segments cause a lack of mobility in the affected area and further nerve problems. Spinal degeneration can ultimately be the result of an ignored injury, a minor fender bender perhaps, or even years of poor posture or improper lifting techniques. As the degeneration progresses, the discs between the vertebrae narrow and scar tissue forms. If left untreated, sections of the spinal column can fuse together, resulting in constant pain and discomfort. Early detection and treatment of spinal problems can prevent years of problems in the future. You owe it to yourself, especially if you are currently experiencing pain or immobility to call Davis Square Chiropractic today for a simple spinal evaluation.
