Understanding Pain
Joint misalignments
interfere with the nervous system and can result in lower resistance to
disease
as well as poor healthcare conditions.
Joints are designed to move within a certain range of motion. If the
muscles
around the joint are damaged or won't relax, this can cause the joint to
compress or move too much. Over time, both of these can cause muscles
and
joints to scar over and deteriorate.
Muscles that cause the joint to stay within its healthy range of motion
are
called stabilizers. When these muscles don't work, other muscles try to
help
protect the joint. This causes some joints to compress and others to
move too
much. When the tissue breaks down enough, you feel pain.
Pain can result from things we do every day that gradually breaks down
tissue.
A fall or auto accident will also cause problems.
