Manual & Mechanical Manipulation Joint dysfunction is improper biomechanical function. This can happen to any joint as a result of sudden injury and/or injury over time. The result of injury to a joint is inflammation that will eventually lead to the development of scar tissue in and around the joint. This alters the biomechanics of the joint and can lead to an increased rate of wear and tear or degeneration of the joint. A prime example of this would be the insidious damage done to your vehicle when it's wheels are out of alignment. Research indicates that intersegmental joint dysfunction or subluxation is associated with the premature development of degenerative osteoarthritis. Because there are multiple joints in the spinal column it is more susceptible to this condition than most other areas of human anatomy. This is why doctors of chiropractic tend to focus on the spine. In very close proximity to most of those joints are the very branches of the central nervous system or spinal nerves. They are a direct connection between the central nervous system and every part of your body. It stands to reason that if these joints are dysfunctional it could chemically and physically interfere with the nervous system's ability to control and coordinate bodily function. Vigorous research studies are currently underway to further investigate the possible correlation between intersegmental dysfunction of the spine and improper communication between the nervous system and the body. This could be an underlying cause or contributing factor for some diseases of neurogenic origin. Manipulative therapy is commonly used for the treatment of intersegmental dysfunction of the joints with great success. It has been proven safe and reliable in many scientific studies. Chiropractors are truly joint doctors. If your pain stems from a joint derangement, then the research suggests that chiropractic should be your first choice for care.
