What Happened To My Spine?

Hey, Dr. Ryan Alter your Delray Beach chiropractor. I get asked this question almost every day in practice, and the question is, what do you think caused this as if there was one single event that caused it, or I don’t know exactly what I did? Well, here’s the truth about it. Your condition right now. Is the cumulative effect of everything you’ve done.

All of the twisting and the bending, any injuries or car crashes, lifting cases of water, sitting in the car, traveling on airplanes. All of that has got you in the condition you’re at right now. It’s like, it’s like asking a dentist, what caused my cavity? Well, it’s not one single event that caused the cavity.

Usually there’s one event you reach down and boom. Your low back gives out. That’s the event that takes you over the threshold, but the entire condition is your 30 or 40 or 50 years on planet Earth that’s created that. Just wanted to let you guys know that it’s a common question in my office. Remember, we’re here in Delray Beach and we’re here to help you feel great.
