Each and every day our bodies are having to endure amazing amounts of stress. While enduring this stress your body is also adapting to it. This process is called plasticity. With out plasticity we would probably all be dead because our body's would not be able to handle all of the extra stressors. Plasticity is just what it sounds like, its the plastic nature of our bodies to mold themselves to the environmental stimuli. An example of this is a woman who wears high heels her whole life. Eventually her low back must mold to the stress of the heel and she will most likely develop low back pain. This is a phenomenon that I see every single day in my practice.

Now these changes due to stress do not happen over night. Some take years and years to happen, but I can assure you, if the bones of the spine loose their normal position this will cause problems. Problems such as headaches, stiff and painful neck, sinus pain, jaw pain, etc... can all be the result of this process called plasticity. The good news is that the plastic nature of the body can also be a good thing! I work with plasticity of the human body every single day. As I am helping my patients regain the normal position of their spines, we are making changes in a positive direction. It is very important to assess if plastic changes have taken place in your body. The majority of my patients with desk jobs have already seen these changes take place, many times regardless of age. Symptoms are one way to know if your body has made these changes. Headaches, mid-back discomfort, and neck pain are sure fire warning signs that you need to be assessed by a trained chiropractor. If you are a candidate for care a Bellevue chiropractor will help you reverse these harmful changes. The other sure indicator that this process had occurred is if you have ever been in a car accident. Car accidents deform the structures of the body making them more susceptible to this happening. Again if you have ever been in a car accident please consult a Bellevue chiropractor to assess if you are a candidate for care. All too many times I see people who let these plastic changes to their spine cause massive damage. Do not let this happen to you. Make the changes that will allow your body to function at its peak!
