Dr. John Reizer
As a doctor of chiropractic, I have always felt an obligation to help educate patients, laypersons, and anyone else that might have had a sincere desire to learn something about becoming healthier. This post has to do with the real-life benefits of being under regular chiropractic care and how a better expression of human physiology and health can be realized by simply maintaining the integrity of the spine’s alignment.
My brother, Dr. Steven Reizer, a successful chiropractor who practices in the Upstate of South Carolina, recently shared with me some pretty impressive results he achieved while working with a patient in his private practice.
The patient, a 14-year-old male, entered his office complaining of neck pain and stiffness. The range of motion in the cervical spine had been diminished considerably. The boy reported the condition had been present for about eight months and got progressively worse over time. After taking x-rays, Dr. Reizer discovered the young patient had a kyphosis in the cervical spine. This is a condition where the normal curve of the neck is reversed.
Upon careful examination of the radiographs (x-rays), it became apparent to Dr. Reizer that the cervical spinal bones in question were all well maintained and had not been fractured. However, several of the bony segments in the region had been subluxated (slightly misaligned from each other) in a posterior direction. This situation had caused tremendous spasticity in many of the paraspinal muscles of the cervical spine. The spastic muscular activity and the misaligned spinal segments caused a reversal of the normal cervical curve.
Chiropractic Care
The young patient was given a series of eight chiropractic adjustments over six weeks. Then another set of cervical x-rays was taken to see any noticeable changes. It should be noted that after the chiropractic adjustments were administered, the patient had a normal range of motion, and the pain and stiffness in his neck had abated.
Pre and Post X-Rays of Patient’s Cervical Spine
The first radiograph (taken before care commenced) pictured above on the left shows a very apparent kyphosis in the cervical spine. It’s possible to see in this view that the posterior arch of the Atlas vertebra (C1) has taken on the appearance of being pushed upward and into the occipital region of the skull. It’s also possible to see in this view that several cervical spinal segments have moved posteriorly in relationship to each other.
The spinal adjustments administered were precise in that they addressed the posteriority of the segments involved and any rotational considerations that were present in the patient’s spine.
Looking at the second radiograph on the right (taken six weeks after care commenced), it’s interesting to note from a clinical perspective that any posteriority associated with the mid and lower cervical segments as well as the extreme inferior tilting of the Atlas (C1) vertebra appear to have been corrected. It’s equally interesting to note that earlier kyphosis was replaced with an almost normal-looking lordotic cervical curve. Remember that these dramatic changes were made with only eight spinal adjustments.
It’s easy to see on a set of x-rays how the cervical spine can become adversely affected by vertebral subluxations. What is not visible, however, is the amount of nerve damage that this problem can cause in the human body. Many spinal nerves can and do become negatively affected by the loss of proper spinal alignment, and this can cause a loss of health and physiological expression in a person.
There is no surgical procedure in existence nor a pharmaceutical product on the market that can correct vertebral subluxation. Only a chiropractic adjustment can correct this problem. Vertebral subluxations occur at some point in most people, and that is why every person must take the time to have their spine checked by a qualified chiropractor each year.
