If you think about the mechanics of your neck, you’ll realize it’s not surprising how easily it can be injured. It has amazing flexibility, is constantly on the move, has very little muscular support, but has to support the 14 - 16 pounds of your head. It is like balancing a bowling ball on a...

The superhighway, as it was coined in the 1990’s, was developed to bring our global communications and information to one great stream accessible by all of us. The information is translated and driven by numerous languages and mathematical algorithms but one system that is universally is the same is that to access and connect to this expanse of information, you first need a few things, namely – a computer and an internet service provider. Then of course your computer needs to be turned ON and you have to be connected to the internet.
This is a great metaphor for how our bodies function. The major premise of chiropractic is that there is a Universal Intelligence that gives to all matter its properties and actions, thereby maintaining it in existence. In other words there is order to the planet and an unlimited potential of intelligence – similar to the World Wide Web.
Put simply, unless you are connected to this Universal Intelligence (or the www.), then you are missing out on an unlimited potential of intelligence. In vertebrates, which yes – humans are included, this intelligence flows from our computer (our brains) down through the spinal cord to all the cells, tissues and organs of the body.
How Many Bars is Your Connectivity?
Interference in the connection from your brain to your body can occur from misalignments in the spine. The misalignments often result from physical, chemical and emotional stress placed on our body through things like car accidents, the birth process, sporting slips and falls, poor sitting, sleeping and standing posture, toxins in our food and environment and stress from work, relationships and finances.
Ultimately the connection speed of nerve signals flowing through the body should be 261 mph, but in a compromised or non-maintained working order, this transmission can be slowed as much as 60%. This is like going from high-speed wireless to the old dial up where you wait for what seems like an eternity for each page to load. Some people feel like this in their bodies where despite how much sleep they get, they still feel tired, or their digestion is sluggish, immune system is depressed, hormones are not balanced or instead of being mentally alert they feel ‘cloudy’.
Other Mechanics Effected
The health of your spine is affected by the stability and health of your extremities—the parts of your body that are not your back and neck. These areas can be directly related by not only injuries, repetitive incorrect wear and tear, but a weakened communication cycle from your body’s server.
These areas are most often effected
- Elbows
- Wrists
- Ankles
- Hands and fingers
- Hips
- Knees
- Feet and toes
- Jaw
- Shoulders
If there is an incorrect connection people will most often feel a tingling sensation, numbness, or instability and/or weakness in those areas.

As the roads become increasingly slippery, more auto accidents are occurring at an alarming rate. The sharp or sudden stops are causing whiplash injuries to not only the driver but all the passengers involved. These injuries unfortunately do not always cause sudden pain but can manifest over time and are not limited to motor vehicles...

Are you one of the new generation that suffers with arthritis but refuses to accept to sit on the sideline? If so read on!
Understanding the Arthritis Myths
Years ago, arthritis was considered an inherent part of the aging process and a signal to a patient that it’s time to slow down. But not so anymore. Recent research and clinical findings show that there is much more to life for arthritis patients than the traditional recommendation of bed rest and drug therapy.
The two most often false misconceptions about arthritis are that ‘you have to live with it’ and ‘it is a part of ageing’.
The word “arthritis” means “joint inflammation” and is often used in reference to the pain affecting a certain part of the body, for example the neck or low back. Arthritis and Arthritic pain does effect up to 80% of people over 50 years of age, but not all. If it were true that arthritis was due to ageing, then because the entire spine is the same age, there should be the same inflammation affecting the entire musculoskeletal system in all of us and not just in one area of our body. Therefore, there must be another cause rather than the sole effect of aging.
As spinal and musculoskeletal specialists, we look at x-rays of the spine everyday. What we observe is that Arthritis often develops in the spine in areas where there have been misalignments , or areas where a trauma has occurred and left untreated over a long period of time. For instance if you suffered back or neck pain from a car accident, sporting injury, or even held an improper posture at work for a long period of time,over the years that area of the spine can and will degenerate and your bodies protective mechanism of swelling, arthritis, in time will result.
Now that we can identify the most logical cause, let us dispel the next best myth which is that ‘we need to accept and live with our pain’. In the traditional treatment of arthritis, anti-inflammatories are most frequently prescribed to patients which are unfortunately linked to dangerous side effects such as blurred vision, increased blood pressure, digestive ulcers and bleeding, kidney problems, dizziness and even possibly death. In comparison, our team specializes in techniques and treatments that address the cause of the arthritic pain directly rather than simply masking the symptom of the inflammation.
The Doctor’s Prospective
A normal healthy spine will allow all the nerves of the spinal column to exit the spine and allow the body to function the way it is supposed to in a strong and healthy way. A person will show a normal healthy curve in the spine, their disc spaces will be even, and bones will be smooth and well defined.
If someone is in what is called a Phase 1 of spinal degeneration they will have a loss of the normal spinal curve, their x-rays will show disc, joint, muscle, and nerve damage. They will also have distorted posture, such as a high shoulder, rotated pelvis or forward head posture. These people will have less energy, their height will be diminished, and health problems will be something they put up with while having the false perception that it is normal aging.
When someone is in a Phase 2 of spinal degeneration they will have increased spinal decay, disc narrowing, bone deformation and spinal canal narrowing (stenosis). These people will have a more common complaints of aches and pains, such as back pain, neck pain, sciatic pain (sometimes daily). They will be fatigued quite frequently, and they are realizing that their health is impeding them from partaking in the activities the would like to participate and enjoy.
When someone is in a Phase 3 of spinal degeneration they will have greater postural imbalance, increasing nerve damage, advanced bone deformation, and extreme loss of flexibility. These people will have a serious health situation and will commonly be on a lot of medication and find that they are unable to participate in simple healthy activities. Their quality of life is very low.

When you or someone you love suffer with chronic pain it is not only physically debilitating but physically exhausting. You sit over your computer searching for anything that may take the pain away. At first you would never expect to find a long lasting or permanent solution and are willing to settle for a solution...
