Corrective Chiropractic Care from our Chiropractor in West LA and Brentwood

Chiropractic care will often require different approaches in order to properly address certain medical issues. Corrective care is a kind of chiropractic treatment that aims to correct misalignment and degeneration of the spine. Corrective chiropractic care is one of the approaches that our West LA and Brentwood chiropractor offers at BAC To Health Chiropractic Lifestyle.

Chiropractor treating patient suffering from back pain Importance of the Spine

The spine is a vertebral column that provides structure and stability to the body. It works to send and receive vital messages to and from the brain. Through its branching nerves, the spine is able to control movement and organ function throughout the body. A dysfunctional spine can result in a great deal of pain, trauma, or disability. For that reason, it is important to maintain a healthy spine through quality chiropractic care.

Spinal Degeneration Phases

Spinal degeneration is characterized by different phases, namely the following:

  • Phase One: Spinal misalignment or malfunction. The normal curvature of the spine may be altered in some way. While this phase doesn't necessarily indicate serious damage, it does involve changing disc space. Phase one can be asymptomatic, with patients unable to notice any pain or problems.
  • Phase Two: Narrowing of the spinal column or discs. Bones may grow deformed as a result of the narrowing, leading to bone spurs and calcium deposits. The posture may deteriorate during this phase. Vertebral discs and ligaments can experience damage. Symptoms such as pain, aches, and fatigue sometimes appear during phase two.
  • Phase Three: Major impairment and dysfunction. The third phase often involves serious damage to the bones and the spinal discs. Joint immobilization, bone fusion, nerve atrophy, and scarred tissue may occur during phase three. People during this phase experience a significantly diminished quality of life. 

Corrective Chiropractic Care

Corrective care works to heal and restore the health of the spine. This form of treatment might involve the use of exercises and stretches with the guidance of a chiropractor. Think of corrective care as a rebuilding process for the spine. In regular chiropractic care, the doctor focuses on a single segment of the body, while in corrective care, the overall structure of the spine is addressed. Chiropractors don't just want to manage the symptoms; they want to treat the underlying cause of a problem.
