Is Chiropractic Safe After Spinal Surgery
So how would chiropractic be able to help with that (a fused spine) most people say that as
soon as you've had spine surgery then you can never adjust it again the
opposite is true once you've had that spine fused and there are very few
signals traveling to the brain anymore in terms of proprioception being
generated from the receptors in the spine it's more important than ever that
you adjust that spine you can adjust you can trigger receptors you can get
messages to the brain many many ways except with an osseous full-force
adjustment you don't have to twist and pop someone to make an adjustment so if
you use instruments if you use an arthrostim or an activator then you
can still adjust and you can put pressure on muscles and joints and
tendons and you can activate those signal pathways even if there is no
motion in the joint itself so there's a huge misunderstanding about what an
adjustment is and when it's appropriate to do an adjustment it's not about the
bone it's about the brain so when you've had a fusion it's more important than
ever to get adjusted but make sure that the
person knows how to do a low force instrument adjustment and that they know
what they're talking about
