-
Back Injuries
Back problems and injuries often occur during recreational activities, sports, work-related, or projects at home.
-
Spinal Disk Problems
Problems with the spine’s discs play a part in back pain.
-
Spinal Degeneration
The result of a neglected or undetected vertebral subluxation, injury, or misalignment. Research shows that degeneration can start 10 days to 2 weeks upon acquiring a subluxation. It will progress until it has completely destroyed the disc and fused the spine.
-
Spondylolisthesis
Is a defect or fracture of one or both wing-shaped parts of a vertebra, can result in vertebrae slipping backward, forward, or over a bone below.

Spine Curvature Disorders
