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.

Plastic changes do not happen quickly and can even take many years to develop. One area that I see plasticity daily is in the spine. If some one has poor postures for many years that stress will deform the spine. This can turn into low back pain, headaches, and even TMJ! Thankfully plasticity also can be used for good. As a Bellevue chiropractor I am using plasticity every day to make positive changes and mold the body back to its normal positioning.

How do you know if these changes have taken place in your body? First look at if you have any of symptoms that can be involved with plasticity, such as headaches, or neck pain. If any type of pain or stiffness in your spine has developed those are warning signs that changes may have taken place in your system and you are a prime candidate to be assessed by a doctor of chiropractic.

Another sure sign that plasticity has taken place in your body is if you have ever been in a car accident. Car crashes are huge stressors to your system and can speed to process of plasticity taking place. If you have been in a car accident any time in your life please call a chiropractor today.

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! Call a Bellevue chiropractor today.
