Dr Brad Ivanchuk, a Burlington Chiropractor discusses the health complications arising from lower back problems.
Last time we learned about posture quadrant #3 which is the lower back and pelvis.
And today you are going to learn how misalignments or postural distortions here can affect 4 very important aspects of your physiology.
[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/03.15.2016.Lower.Back.Problems.Can.Cause.Other.Problems.bi.hb.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/03.23.2016.spinal.misalignment.jpg width=500 height=305 /]1. Your digestive system. Misalignments in quadrant 3 means a misaligned digestive tract which impairs the ability of the food to move through comfortably and fluidly.
Symptoms of this would be heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux, stomach pains, abdominal pains and irregular bowel habits including constipation and diarrhea.
2. Your reproductive system. Misalignments in quadrant 3 will obstruct nerve flow to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, bladder and the muscles that make up the pelvic floor.
When these tissues become weak and clumsy due to poor nerve supply, difficulties arise for females to get pregnant and hold pregnancies.
Bladder accidents will occur in males and females both including bed-wetting in children.
3. Your ability to breathe.
Misalignments in posture quadrant 3 alone will decrease the ability of the lungs to expand by 12 to 15%.
The decreased circulation and supply of oxygen to the body will result in fatigue and over the course of time an increased acidity level within the body.
When the body’s acidity levels increase, it becomes more susceptible to infections and other diseases including cancer.
4. Detoxification.
There are a vast number of lymph glands and lymph ducts in and around posture quadrant 3.
Misalignments here will impair the ability of the lymphatic system to move unwanted toxins up and out of the body.
So as you can see and as I mentioned previously, lower back problems have for more serious health consequences than just a sore, stiff achy back!
And are these problems going to appear immediately? Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t.
But, if you have your spine checked by a posture expert, you will find out where all of your weaknesses lie.
And how valuable would that information be for you and you children?!
