What about spastic muscles stuck in a contracted state?
Do a search for Thomas Griner and then read his work on how spastic muscle or hypertonic muscle creates many, many problems in the body. You will find it under neurosoma. He developed a technique that he has practiced for over 40 years. There is science behind his work as opposed to most all others.
@sambking If the person with spasticity is o.k with experimental treatment, they can try Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (or TMS). This is when a magnetic coil is used to stimulate the motor cortex of the brain which can help to relax the spastic muscles by decreasing the H-reflex of the motor units.
@ReGenFitness If you read Griner's work you will see that nothing, short of getting the lactic acid out of the spindle fibers, will work to heal a "sick" muscle. Any muscle worker who does not understand muscle physiology will never be able to fix a spastic muscle or a pattern of spastic muscles. Hooking people up to machines to fix muscles spasms does not work. Griner has been working with muscle with just his hands for 40 years. He understands muscle physiology like no one else.
@sambking I'm not discrediting his work, I'm just saying that TMS is another option that has shown a great upside for spastic patients. TMS has been used on people with incomplete spinal cord injuries (spasticity is common occurance in this population), as opposed to surface stimulation, TMS stimulates the central nervous system instead of the peripheral in an attempt to correct the electrical impulses causing spasticity. To say that only one method can help with this problem seems short sighted
@ReGenFitness I'd like to read the science behind the theory. Is there any? What is the theory that TMS is based upon? Griner's theory is stated above regarding lactic acid trapped in the spindle fibers of the muscles causing an incorrect signal being sent from the feedback nerve endings to the cerebellum. This is based on proven muscle physiology and nervous system understanding that has been proven. How does TMS stimulate the central nervous system?
@jjhaywood Chiropractic college is generally done after one gets a Bachelors, and takes an additional 4 years to complete. These people are, whether you want to admit it or not, healers and they do have actual studies to back them up based on scientific research. They need to know a ton of biology among other things, they prescribe medicine. They aren't freakin' homeopaths! I'm not totally qualified to speak on these things though, I'm merely the web designer.
@HonestDiscussioner It's all good to be a healer. My friend just finished 5 years of acupunture and message training in NY, but he dare not put Dr. in front of his name. And still, medical school and chiropractic schools are two different ballgames. Hell, two different sports! I respect chiropractors, I have been helped. And I guess they bestow themselves with that title to venerate the years of training. But still, in our society, at the end of the day, no matter what you say, it is misleading.
@jjhaywood to become a chirpractor they have obtained a D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic) They are considered primary health care providers in Canada and the US. google it.. massage therapists and accupuncturists are much different than chiropractors. an accupuncturist IS a doctor as well, massage therapists are not. its a person's own preference whether they want to put "Dr." in front of their name. it is what it is, regardless of what you call it.
@LaurenAlexandra711 99,9% of all accupuncturists are NOT medical doctors, because accupuncture is placebo only (1000s studies proof it... it doesn't matter were you put the needles and meridians doesn't exist).
And I would never in my life go to a MD who practises accupuncture, Homeopathy or stuff like this.
@HonestDiscussioner Well, homepathy is a big fake shit. This stuff should be forbidden, because millions of people think it is real medicine, but it's nothing but placebo. Thats okay with a cold (for some), but hundrets of old and very young people die because of it.
A PhD or MD is a completly different thing than the chiropractic education or a master. As far as I know they are NOT allowed to prescribe medicine in any state
But yeah, they heal and are well educated (most of them).
Of course at the L3 L4 and L5 levels there would be no cord for the posterior disc to affect. It would rather be affecting the thecal sac and the nerve roots of lower segments.
Opps, I meant to address Cox work. Cox is also well documented in helping in spinal stenosis and disc decompression. It is a forerunner of new decompression techniques and still compares equally in results. Like anything not one process fits everyone. But the statistics substantiate its results. Be well.
There are many excellent methods to adjust. One is Activator that is one of the most clinically studied and proven worldwide to be effective. I believe in matching the patient to the technique and the doctor. NUCCA is a find method and know several fine chiropracters who practice it, but they do not down play those that don't practice it. There is no one method of adjusting for everyone. Have an open heart and open mind.
Not to be argumentive, but activator has not conducted any RCT that I know of proving it's effectiveness verse other therapies/controls. Yes, many studies demonstrating physiological effects are found, but that is a far cry from proven clinical effectivness.
Thank you for your concern about our techniques at Advanced Health and Performance Center. I would suggest that while you look up all of the scientific research that backs up both Cox and Graston (google shows over 9000 scholarly articles for cox) you should also check up on how to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. We do all of the things you criticize us for not doing, we just don't feature them in this video. Unlike Nucca, we don't assume all problems are found in C1 & C2.
There is more than one way to help people. Closed minded narrow thinking individuals such as you are ruining our profession. You must be fresh out of school. I thought I knew everything 23 years ago as well. Chill out, do what you love and let others do what they do and the world will be a better place.

I wish they would stop calling themselves Doctors. It's misleading because you don't work in academia and you've never attended medical school.
