have some sort of pain and the first thing that they tell me is they went to
the doctor and they had x-rays and they were told that they have arthritis and
that there's probably nothing that can be done about it but they're desperate
so we're their last hope their last option well sadly we are their last
option we should be their first option because if we could address that long
long long before it became a big problem than that arthritis would be much less
likely to develop but what is arthritis arthritis is bony degeneration when that
joint isn't working properly then it starts to get some inflammation and the
body tries to create increased stability by laying down more bone a joint that's
working properly has a very fine-tuned muscle control so joint can only move
and work as well as the muscles that are stabilizing and moving it and of course
it's the brain that moves the muscles and if there's any distortion in the
feedback between the joint and the brain and the brain can't control it properly
it becomes a little unstable and over time it wears unevenly it gets them
flamed it doesn't repair properly it has uneven weight bearing and on and on and
on and over a period of years or decades we develop bony degeneration and
arthritis so most people over 50 would probably find some arthritis on their
spine if they had an sree but that's not the cause of the
pain it's a result of a dysfunction and the pain and the arthritis are the
result of the same dysfunction it's not that one is causing the other if we can
improve the function typically we can improve the quality of life the
stability the range of motion etc so I had this lady come in recently she is 65
ish and she could turn her head about 45 degrees to the right and she could turn
about 10 degrees to the left and she said it was very difficult to drive
because if she was supposed to look over her left shoulder at all she had to kind
of twist and move her whole body and I've had hundreds of people that tell me
that exact story so not only is there personal suffering involved but you can
only imagine what it does for traffic safety if people can't look over their
shoulder so long story short we adjusted her a few times and two weeks later she
has completely normal range of motion she can turn eighty degrees to the left
she can turn eighty degrees to the right which is a normal rotational range of
motion so she had been told that because they found arthritis that was the cause
of her limited motion and they told her this would never get better get used to
it take some pain pills etc etc but just because there is arthritis on the x-ray
doesn't mean that that's the cause of anything it doesn't mean that the
function can't be improved your body is designed to heal your body is designed
to self-correct and manage things if we can just help it along if we can get rid
of some of the interference if we can provide it better feedback better
signals if we can give the brain a truer picture of what the world looks like
your body will go right on to healing and performing and functioning no matter
how long it's been are there cases of arthritis that are
truly causing stiffness and and limitations of course there is a point
where there are thright escossio ssin and if all the joints in the neck fuse
then you have no rotation then we can't do much for that range of motion we can
still improve the function and reduce whatever pain we can improve signaling
and help the quality of life but there is always a limitation of matter for
most people they have a lot more left in them than they believe because they've
never had anyone truly help the body along and figure out what's interfering
and reconnect everything to where it's working properly if you have some
arthritis if you've been told that you have it if you have been told to get
surgery let me know what your experiences are if you know someone who
has that kind of situation write your questions write your comments I'll be
more than happy to try to get back to it and see if I can address some of it if
