3. Trigger PointsTrigger Points
Almost no matter what happens to you, you can
count on trigger points to make it worse. They
routinely form in response to injuries, or really
any other kind of pain and dysfunction. As if
that weren’t bad enough, in many cases they
actually begin to overshadow the original
problem.
Trigger points make injuries worse!
5. Subluxations are joint receptor misalignments
that create neurological blockages that inhibit
normal energy flow, and may lead to
degeneration (osteoarthritis).
6. Joint receptors help us maintain our posture, movement,
normal muscle tone, volume and strength. They enable the
body to react to its environment. For example, when a
spinal joint and its surrounding tissues are injured in an
accident or from prolonged sitting, inflammation, muscle
spasms, and pain, followed by healing ensues. When our
nervous system is functioning at 100%, this happens
automatically via the nervous system, which control the
circulatory system, the glandular system and the immune
system. Subluxations inhibit normal bodily functioning.
SUBLUXATIONS
7. Assessment of SubluxationsAssessment of Subluxations
An easy method of determining
subluxations for a chiropractic neurologist
would be to simply assess posture. A tilted
head, a high shoulder, a high hip or an
internally rotated knee or ankle joint may
indicate the nervous systems response to
subluxations.
8. AdjustmentsAdjustments
An adjustment is a method of resetting joint
movement receptors, which in turn affect internal
joint capsule tension, segmental tone, volume and
pain. As joint movement receptor activity increase,
nocioceptive (painful) input decrease. Thus, pain
suppression, is achieved through a chiropractic
adjustment and movement therapy (stretch). Goals
of care are for the purpose of reducing irritability of
joints and its related myofascial tissues.
9. Results of SubluxationsResults of Subluxations
Poor ergonomic posture and mechanics, coupled with lack of exercise,
stretching and poor nutritional habits, contribute to structural
misalignments (subluxation). This will lead to abnormal joint motion
and muscle rigidity, organ and glandular dysfunction, (because of
sympathetic stimulation). In addition, this will lead to joint receptor
firing (primarily slow pain fibers).
Further, this cascade will lead to spinal cartilage degeneration within 1
day and initial stages of disc dehydration within 1 week. Ultimately
inflammation will ensue; thus pain. The body responds to its external
environment, always attempting to reach balance. Unfortunately,
osteoarthritis is the body’s response to such chronic mechanical
dysfunction.
10. Dysfunctional InformationDysfunctional Information
90% of dysfunctional information from joint receptors is sent to the autonomic
organs (cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine
system, urinary system and the immune system). Mast cells line the tracts of these
systems. These cells are under control of the nervous and immune system, which
lead to further inflammatory and autoimmune dysfunction (asthma, bronchitis,
IBS, fibromyalgia, heart dis-ease, prostate cancer, diabetes, etc..).
Only 10% of receptor impulses reach the portion of the brain for pain perception
and localization. These aforementioned pathways demonstrate coordination of
various systems for the purpose of human survival (balance). Postural balance is
controlled much by the small but strong anti-gravity spinal muscles. These
postural muscles are highly in tune with the cerebellum (coordination brain
center), which also rely on the visual (eyes) and vestibular (inner ear balance)
systems for information. Thus, we may understand the linkage between the
musculoskeletal system, organs, motion and optimal health.

In order to handle burgeoning numbers of aging baby boomers, which will seek
service for management of chronic diseases, as well as the escalating number of
younger adults with metabolic syndrome obesity and type II diabetes, a new model
which incorporates `alternatives therapies is needed.`
`…The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has
the disease…` Sir William Osler, 1849-1919.
`…People do not get sick from diseases, but rather diseases reflect a disruption in the
dynamic balance between themselves and their environment…` Sidney M. Baker MD,
Detoxification and Healing, Keats 1999.
