Re: Re: [RC] back pain - A. PerezMy point was only that any treatment of back problems, no matter what the modaliity, should be preceded by thorough imaging (NOT just xrays) so that the exact nature of the problem is understood before treatments are done so as not to inadvertantly exasperate the situation. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On Fri, 5 Sep 2003, Liz Faletti, DC (lfaletti@xxxxxxx) wrote: It is interesting that you mention "Prolonged pressure on nerves from a ruptured disc can cause irreversable nerve damage." You are very right. This also happens when a bone is out of alignment, placing undue pressure on the DISK and NERVES. As a chirorpactor, this is what I work on everyday. Why do you think you ruptured a disk? Insunuating that chiropractic adjustments will increase the pressure on your disk is just plain wrong. There are many studies that show that chiropractic adjustments help relieve both nerve pressure and disk pressure. Chiropractic care is the safest way to take care of those injuries, before you require surgery. I understand your concerns, however, are you a licensed chiropractor? Have you read the studies? I'll leave a few at the end so you may. Many surgeons will tell their patients that after a disk surgery, you can expect trouble with the disks above or below the one they worked on. ________________________________________________Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
