SPINAL ALIGNMENT
Causes of Spinal Problems
In 1910, D. D. Palmer, the father of chiropractic, said that the causes of diseases associated with the spine could be:
- Mechanical – accidents, trauma, physical stress, overwork, faulty posture or other stressful mechanical conditions.
- Chemical – unsuitable foods, foods that have been contaminated by additives and preservatives or have been subjected to extremes of heat or cold and ionizing radiations and of course, all drugs and medicines.
- Mental – negative mental attitudes of all kinds – fear, worry, apprehension, jealously, hatred, greed.
All of these factors can cause enervation leading to toxaemia – a toxic condition which acts upon muscular tissues, causing them to become either flaccid or spastic.
These tissues can become weak, excessively soft and unstable. They can also become hard, brittle and unyielding. They can also become hard, brittle and unyielding.
Either way, the bones which are normally held in their correct juxtaposition, can move out of their normal positions and become:
- subluxated (Chiropractic)
- a lesion (Osteopathy)
- a ligatight (Naprapathy).
Be proactive with your spine.
Exercise regularly and keep your body supple and flexible to ensure that the free flow of blood, lymph and nerve force is maintained.
Without spinal integrity a person will never achieve their best possible level of health.
