Eagle Family Auto Accident Page

Regular doctors often prescribe medications only, or physical therapy.

If you think that you are ok just because your pain went away, you may be making a big mistake.

Dr. Ahrend has the training and the equipment to detect hidden injuries that can develop into degenerative disc disease and arthritis. This condition is no joke.

Since most of the time there is no out of pocket expense to you, a wise thing to do would be to have Dr. Ahrend check your injuries right away.

It is easier to find nerve or joint problems and other possible hidden injuries soon after the accident if possible. So don't wait!

Call our office today for a free Digital Myograph Comparative Muscle Test and a Posture Analysis on our Spinal Analysis Machine.

This test is completely safe for both adults and children. So call today to get your free auto accident check-up.

VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION
DESCRIPTION
If you are new to chiropractic this term, subluxation, may be new to you. It is the basis behind what chiropractic is. In simple terms if your spine is misaligned it will cause a verity of problems with the rest of your body. Vertebral subluxation is a term used to describe an abnormal positioning of a vertebra, enough to interfere with the nerve impulses (messages) sent from the brain to the body. A subluxation is not as severe as a dislocation but can lead to many symptoms that can contribute to pain and or loss of function. Understanding that the central nervous system (brain, and spinal cord) is the master system that allows your life force to control all of the other systems combined. A disruption in the flow (subluxation) of these life forces can become extremely detrimental to your overall health.

To give you a better understanding of what a vertebral subluxation is we have included the following definitions that if combined, make up the over all condition, also known as the
VETEBRAL SUBLUXATION COMPLEX:

Spinal Kinesiopathology
Spinal – meaning spine.
Kinesio – meaning movement or body language.
Pathology – meaning disease and suffering.
Physical trauma such as improper lifting, car accidents, repetitive motions, and poor sleeping habits can cause spinal porblems. Emotional stress and chenmical imbalances are common culprits! A spinal movement disease such as when your vertebrae are not moving and or functioning the way they were designed to. You might not be able to turn your head or bend and turn your torso properly.

Neuropathophysiology
Neuro. – meaning nerve
Patho. – meaning disease
Physiology – Meaning science and function of the living organism and its components. The chemical and physical processes.
Neuropathophysiology or nerve disease effecting physical and chemical processes. The nerves are impinged (pinched) causing a decrease or block in nerve flow to and from the brain. Improper motion or position of spinal bones can rub, irritate, pinch or choke delicate nerves. This can impair the function of the tissues, organs, and systems controlled by these nerves. This can cause numbness, tingling pain and decrease in vital messages your body’s systems and organs use to function.

Myopathology
Myo – meaning muscle.
Pathology – meaning disease and suffering.
Muscles supporting the spine can weaken and atrophy, or become tight and go into spasm. Unfortunately, scar tissue and adhesions penetrate these malfunctioning muscles, changing their elasticity. There is some sort of damage to the muscle tissue causing it to be sore, spastic, tight or weak, leading to formation of TRIGGER POINTS, which can be chronic in nature if left unattended.

Histopathology
Histology – meaning the study of the microscopic structures of tissue.
Pathology – meaning disease and suffering.
Discs, ligaments, and other soft tissues can malfunction. These important soft tissues have a poor blood supply, so proper healing often reaquires continued care even after the relief of obvious symptoms. There is some sort of swelling, tenderness or painfull points in the soft tissue. This is also called trigger points. Histopathology can also describe the study of ligaments, cartilage, discs tendons and internal organs.

Pathophysiology.
Patho. – meaning disease
Physiology – Meaning science and function of the living organism and its components. The chemical and physical processes.
The body responds with bone spurs and spinal decay, fusing malfunctioning spinal joints. Degenerative changes can be seen in other organs and tissues which have been deproved of normal nerve control. Muscles and joints can show signs of premature aging due to sports injuries or work related posturing. Other examples include stresses due to repetitive motions like assembly line work or dad posture while sleeping.
