Medical journal publishes research on safety of Chiropractic neck adjustments
An international magazine for study of the spine has published an article stating the true safety of chiropractic adjustments on the neck. To further this, they implemented the most “aggressive” form of adjusting. The public may still be unaware just how gentle chiropractic adjustments are.
Here is a summary:

Spinal Decay: Can it be reversed?
Click to open a large Image
Your body adapts to uncorrected spinal stress by depositing calcium into affected joints. As if the body is trying to mend a broken bone, it attempts to “repair” the malfunctioning spinal joint by joining the two segments together! We call this slow, relentless, degenerative process “spinal decay.” As with tooth decay, early detection of spinal decay can help avoid painful symptoms and permanent damage.
Spinal decay is a degenerative process that worsens with time. If neglected or simply ignored, this crippling condition quietly progresses, without obvious symptoms.
It starts with some type of uncorrected trauma to the spine. A slip or fall. A car accident. Learning to walk. Even the birth process may be responsible! The first “phase”of spinal decay is revealed as a loss of proper spinal curve or a reduced ability to turn and bend. Other areas of the spine often compensate, starting a chain reaction of health problems.
