Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've never had chiropractic manipulations but I have popping noises in my vertebra (both neck and back)-- sometimes when I just lay down or turn in bed. I believe this is from loose ligaments (a known side effect of prednisone treatment I had) allowing the facet joints to slip past each other. I could imagine that too rough stretching from Chiropractic might overstretch ligaments so they no longer hold the joints as tight together as they should be (could predispose to arthritis ?) I also have crunching sounds when I move my head which I believe are the bone spurs from my neck arthritis rubbing against each other in the facet joints. (The facet joints are tiny joints that connect the vertebra together in the back and allow movement in the spine. check out a chicken backbone and you'll see or look at one of those models of the human spine in doctor's offices) Facet joint arthritis in the neck cause discomfort in the sides of the neck where the inflamed facet joints are and also refers pain to the back of the neck depending on the level of joints involved. Lower cervical facet joints also refer pain to the upper back and shoulders. Upper cervical facet joints refer pain to the head resulting in mild to severe headaches.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Really...I am so tired of the well-meaning chiropractors we het on here...think they can save the world...they think that surgeons destroy people and if people just knew more about chiropractic care they could avoid surgery and live perfect lives.... We've heard from choropractors like you many times before. The reality is that you cannot remove bone spurs not stop their damage. You cannot heal a degenerated disk that is unstable and prevent someone from needing a fusion. You cannot heal a compression fracture. You cannot reverse anything but MAYBE a small disc bulge. What you ARE good at is milking people for all they've got financially. Tellling people they need to come weekly..even monthly for so long. They actually believe it's true and say they can tell when they are overdue for a visit...have you heard of the " placebo effect " ? There's a reason why I didn't approve your request to join the group..apparently someone else did. Please save your spouting for the suckers in your office. And puhleeze don't call yourself a doctor. Ugh. --- Babbitt ________________________________ From: b p <aquadc@...> spinal problems Sent: Mon, October 26, 2009 1:50:07 PM Subject: Re: Re: Success Story Spinal Stenosis (pathologic narrowing of the spinal canal) can cause; myelopathy (cord pathology), radiculopathy (nerve root patholofy) and or other neurologic problems. Chiropractic Physicians manage this and all other conditions best because, Chiropractic is all about helping the body body heal, naturally by modulating nerves that control all physiology. See your Chiropractic Physician first for all of your health care needs. Please, call your Fed Rep Demanding Chiropractic Inclusion in any health care reform and stop medical welfare ($1.5 Trillion per year Medicare Dope Act of 2002, muni bonds, etc, etc, etc). When medicine has no exclusive way to get at your tax money, although the evidence supporting Chiropractic efficacy as primary and neurologic specialists proving that medicine is 90% waste is well established, we'll get what works best! sincerely, AQUADC, DABCN > > > > " I still wish that the medical industry would make it easier for us > patients to make call easier by having only one industry perform spine > surgery.
