OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 9, 2009 · 10 JEWELLERY? DEGENERATING DISCS Have you ever noticed how the ground cracks and crumbles when it dries out from lack of moisture during a dry spell? The same thing happens to your spinal discs if they lose their normal motion. The discs are somewhat like the inside of a golf ball, with a gel centre and an outer fibrous mesh casing. Normal, everyday motion allows the discs to absorb moisture and remain hydrated and healthy. But, if two vertebrae become misaligned with each other, causing pressure on the nerve root between them, then the local muscles tend to go into spasm. This muscle spasm inhibits motion that is necessary to draw moisture into the disc. As a result, the disc begins to dry out and will eventually crack and crumble. This process is referred to as disc degeneration. Disc degeneration is not a disease. It is a process of wearing out that can be prevented by keeping the individual spinal bones in good alignment and motion. Chiropractic spinal adjustment helps to restore normal spinal motion and maintain the health of the spinal discs. This leads to less pressure on the spinal nerve roots and promotes better overall health. Chiropractic adjustments can help you live life to the fullest. SELLING YOUR OUT OF INK ?
