Treatment Program For A Decaying Spine
“What Is A Chiropractic Treatment Plan For Spinal Decay?”
Last time we discussed what you can do to minimize the chances that you or your children develop spinal decay.
So now I would like to explain to you what is involved in a chiropractic treatment plan if it has been confirmed that you do have decay in your spine.
The treatment plan is a 3-pronged approach.
One component is the chiropractic adjustment.

The chiropractic adjustment is what actually corrects the position of your misaligned vertebrae ( subluxations ) which are what cause your spine to decay in the first place.
These are usually done manually by hand or with a hand-held instrument called an Activator.
The adjustment only takes a couple of minutes to do.
The second component which is spinal traction is to assist in correcting your posture and to promote re-hydration of any degenerating spinal discs that we find in your spine.
Traction takes at most 5 minutes to do and is usually done immediately following your adjustment.
The third component which is home exercise is to strengthen the muscles surrounding your spine so that they hold your spine in its proper posture.
Home exercise does not begin until we see your posture start to improve and is done 3 – 4 times per week for 15 minutes per session.
Progress checks and comparative xrays ( if necessary ) are also part of the treatment plan and these are to make sure that we are achieving the desired results.
Each treatment plan is based upon what phase of decay your spine is in and this is discussed when reviewing your xrays at the Doctors Report.
Next time we will discuss what you can do once you have successfully completed your corrective chiropractic treatment plan and you have a healthy spine once again, but in the meantime if you have any questions about this topic or any other health concerns that you may have, all you have to do is give us a call.
