Low Back Pain, Arthritis and Chiropractic

Our friends at the US Chiropractic Directory have come out with a great research article noting how low back pain and arthritis have a direct link.

http://uschirodirectory.com/index.php/low-back-problems/item/259-low-back-pain-arthritis-a-chiropractic-a-clinical-correlation

In 2010, it was reported that 31 million Americans experience low back pain. More than 20 million Americans experience arthritis or degenerative joint disease, which has been shown to have a direct correlation called the subluxation degeneration.

For example, when a vertebral subluxation takes place (is stuck or out of position) there is a negative neurological effect. The body automatically tries to stabilize the spine and mobilizes calcium to use as cement or glue to prevent further malpositions.
