Re: Update on Neck/Back/Headaches, etc.

[Guest guest]

My doctor went to the chiropractor who took the x-rays and looked at

them and then called me back. He said I have significant changes in

the degeneration in a couple different areas, and several spurs on

the back side of my spine. He is ordering a MRI and then will be

back in touch with me.

First off, I agree with what has already told you.

My second comment is that if you do in fact have bone spurs then you

need to be even more cautious than ever about any kind of forceful,

as in thrust adjustment, spinal manipulations. I am not saying that

they are necessarily totally contraindicated, but I would be

extremely careful about it because of potential risk of damaging the

spinal cord. There are other less invasive and much safer

techniques that can be used if you do have subluxed vertebrae from

time to time.
