Bellevue Chiropractors And "plastic"?

Its amazing how our bodies can adapt to stress! I was telling one of my patients just yesterday how important this adaptation to stress is

. With out it we would probably all have one disease or another! In my post doctorate studies in chiropractor neurology we called this adaptation plasticity. It is the bodies ability to mold to its surroundings. This "plasticity" is what causes one of my computer engineer patients to come home at the end of the day with a pain in her neck. Her body has literally molded into the poor posture that she had been sitting in all day and is causing un-needed stress.

Plastic changes by no means happen over night unless a significant stress dictates it, like a whiplash injury in a car accident. Many times in my patients this adaptation has slowly occurred over decades. The spine and its associated structures are a major place for this to occur. I have a saying in my office, "Where you keep the body the most is where its going to stay". If you keep the spine in a poor posture for years, odds are its going to get stuck there. This can turn into headaches, stiff neck, jaw pain, low back and many other conditions which plague us as humans today. On the opposite end of things, plasticity can also be a good thing! As a chiropractor I am daily using plasticity to mold the spine back to where it is supposed to be, thus changing how the body sees stress.

How do you know if these changes have taken place in your body? First look at if you have any of symptoms that can be involved with plasticity, such as headaches, or neck pain. If any type of pain or stiffness in your spine has developed those are warning signs that changes may have taken place in your system and you are a prime candidate to be assessed by a doctor of chiropractic.

The other sure indicator that this process had occurred is if you have ever been in a car accident. Car accidents deform the structures of the body making them more susceptible to this happening. Again if you have ever been in a car accident please consult a Bellevue chiropractor to assess if you are a candidate for care.

Do not let the process of plasticity create disease in your body. Talk to a Bellevue chiropractor today to reverse the damage done and find ways to prevent it in the future.
