Spinal Adjustments

Spinal adjustments can be best explained as adjustments by a chiropractor to help alleviate pressures on the spinal cord which offers improvement of health. Many people find back pain relief through spinal adjustments. Chiropractors manipulate or adjust the vertebrae when it is misaligned (the vertebrae are the bones of your spinal column) to help restore and correct the functioning of your central nerve system. Chiropractors may also assist with treating other parts of your body which are affected by the vertebrae being misaligned. They may perform these techniques with use of their hands and a variety of electrical and/or mechanical instruments. "D.C." stands for "Doctor of Chiropractic," the degree licensed chiropractors must earn.

Spinal Adjustments might be considered with following issues:

    * To help with better health
    * Sports injuries
    * Heavy Lifting injuries
    * Slip and Fall
    * General bad back
    * Work injuries
    * Repetitive tasks
    * Auto Accidents

Spinal Adjustment issues include:

Spinal adjustment/manipulation – A specific thrust applied to a subluxated vertebra utilizing parts of the vertebra and contiguous structures as levers to directionally correct that particular articular malposition, and thus influencing neural integrity in that area.

Subluxation – A complex of functional and/or structural changes that occur in the spinal column that comprises neural integrity and thus may influence organ system function and general health.

I have only joined two days ago and have no idea where I would post a question?? I am happy to do it but don't know where to do it, I will have a look around.  I am very grateful to you for answering my post because it's hard to write to people you hardly know, it's hard to know what to say.  I truly do want to make friends, but friends who understand me, I have friends here that work and have children but they hardly call in anymore because I'm sure they just don't know what to say to me anymore so they just don't bother to call in  and I don't blame them, I mean it is hard on them, they just don't understand.

Anyway, I will try to find somewhere else to post in and I wish you all the very best and thanks again for answering my post.

Hi
you should post this as a question. Not everybody reads all the posts so people may not find you here. Write this again but post it as a question so you are on the main board. I just happen to read this post so I seen what you wrote.
By the way I found someone that i was chatting with on this board and I now consider her to be one of my best friends. We have so much in common with our different problems so we are there to listen and cheer each other on. I hope you have success with this.
There are so many of us here that know exactly how you feel. Alot of us are in the same positon and feel very lonely too.we have way too much time on our hands and not enough things that we are able to do to fill it. Our lives are so much different than they used to be.
I have faith that you will find someone to chat with.

Hi,
   I just want to say hello to all of you and join in this community, I'm hoping I can get to know some of you as I spend most of my time at home, my husband is with me, he is my full time carer as I am on full disability support.  I have a spinal injury aswell as spinal degenerative illness.  I have a few spinal disc ruptures and sciatica as my sciatic nerve is jammed and I have lost 85% feeling from my left leg.  That was from a vicious attack a long time ago and now I have arthritis in a lot of my joints.

I have grand mal epilespy and depression, but I do get lonely and would love to make some friends that I would understand me a bit.  I lost a lot of my friends as they just don't know what to say to me, so they didn't say anything, I have a few very close friends that just stuck by me and did the right thing by just saying, they didn't know how I felt but, they were there for me if I ever needed them.  But, most of them work and it's hard to get together and its even harder to make conversation with a lot of people as I don't have a lot in common with many.  They, (thank god) still come and visit, but I ask then how their work is going, but I can't drive anymore, I use a walker to get around and it hurts badly to travel anywhere or walk far, so I can't comment on shopping as my husband shops while someone stays here with me, I get stuck into the computer with my poetry which I have had published a bit, and I also help people with depression, but that's confidential.  I also knit and cross stitch, I still play my guitar as I used to be in a band and was lead singer and songwriter, but I can't hold up the guitar for long so it's one of those things I should really sell so it's out of my reach...

It's nice to be typing about myself to talk to people who may understand me, I feel so isolated here, I get frustrated and wish I could go out but I can't and there is no use whinging about it.

I hope I can make friends here, please write back to me if you like. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I take a lot of medication and am happy to talk about that and do have some questions about some of it if someone knows a bit about it,

Take care and thank you for reading such a long winded post.  Sorry it's so long.
