Degeneration

Proper spinal alignment is essential for healthy and pain-free living. When there is a trauma to a joint, one of the ways your body responds is the stabilization of the area by formation of new bone. With time, calcium deposits build up, eventually as abnormal bony growth. This arthritic 'splinting' of bones is nature's attempt to stabilize the injured joint. If left uncorrected, subluxation takes the form of ongoing degeneration known as 'subluxation degeneration' and can lead to chronic health related problems.
