Arthritis in load bearing structures, such as the spine, hips, knees and ankles, particularly unbalanced arthritis, is usually the result of unbalanced load on these structures. A person with bad posture, such as large forward head carriage, will unevenly load the vertebrae, which as a result deform and change shape to better bear this load. This deformation occurs because of Wolf’s Law of bone remodelling and while it takes years to create permanent deformation of the bone, the initial catalyst is simply poor posture. By correcting posture, you balance the load on the vertebrae and slow down or halt the process, protecting your spine for the future.
For patients who already have arthritis as a result of long standing bad posture, moving the affected area with Chiropractic adjustments, and strengthening postural muscles will again reduce the load on the arthritic joints and have a very good chance of reducing the symptoms suffered. While some of the symptoms of arthritis emanate from the joint, many come from the supporting structures; the ligaments and muscles. These supporting structures are sending pain signals as they are still carrying the load of the unbalanced posture, and it is these symptoms that can be significantly reduced with treatments such as chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises.
Arthritis katika miundo ya kubeba mzigo, kama vile uti wa mgongo, viuno, magoti na vifundo, hasa arthritis isiyo na usawa, kwa kawaida ni matokeo ya mzigo usio na usawa kwenye miundo hii. Mtu mwenye msimamo mbaya, kama vile gari kubwa la kichwa mbele, atazidisha mviringo kwa njia isiyo sawa, ambayo kama matokeo huficha na kubadilisha umbo ili kubeba mzigo huu vizuri. Uharibifu huu hutokea kwa sababu ya Sheria ya Wolf ya kurekebisha mifupa na wakati inachukua miaka kuunda uharibifu wa kudumu wa mfupa, kichocheo cha awali ni tu msimamo mbaya. Kwa kurekebisha msimamo, unalinganisha mzigo kwenye uti wa mgongo na kupunguza au kusimamisha mchakato huo, ukilinda uti wa mgongo wako kwa siku zijazo. Kwa wagonjwa ambao tayari wana ugonjwa wa viungo kama matokeo ya msimamo mbaya wa muda mrefu, kuhamisha eneo linaloathiriwa na marekebisho ya chiropractic, na kuimarisha misuli ya msimamo, tena itapunguza mzigo kwenye viungo vya arthritis na kuwa na nafasi nzuri sana ya kupunguza dalili zilizosababishwa. Ingawa dalili za ugonjwa wa viungo hutokana na viungo, nyingi hutokana na miundo inayounga mkono; viungo na misuli. Vipande hivi vinavyotumia nguvu za mwili hutuma ishara za maumivu kwa sababu bado vinachukua mzigo wa msimamo usio na usawa, na ni dalili hizi ambazo zinaweza kupunguzwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na matibabu kama vile marekebisho ya chiropractic na mazoezi ya kurekebisha.
