The lumbar vertebrae are very important in supporting the upper body in an upright position. They have an increased body sized compared to the other vertebrae for this reason. They also contain a small portion of the spinal cord and other nervous tissue and provide protection of these.

Yes, it is ok to fly with a screw in your knee.

An untrained person should never attempt to manipulate joints. You can hurt yourself or the person you're trying to help. Each problem is unique and requires a thorough evaluation before a manipulative procedure or adjustment is delivered.

Cross-fiber friction involves doing transverse movements to the connective tissues, like tendons and ligaments, in order to loosen up their fibers.This can be performed by opposing thumbs or the heal of the hand, especially on the iliotibial band.

Probably Not.

The pro-adjuster is supposed to be a "computerized" form of spinal manipulation. Although some people claim that they have benefited from treatment with the pro-adjuster, there is no peer-reviewed research (yet) that suggests pro-adjuster is beneficial for any condition at all (if this ever changes I will modify this answer). Sadly, despite having no evidence-base whatsoever, the pro-adjuster is marketed as an effective form of care. Sometimes it is even falsy described as being "developed by NASA", which is completely false advertising. You are better off findiing a real chiropractor who uses manual spinal manipulation or spinal mobilization, as there is good peer-reviewed research to support this kind of therapy for the treatment of back pain.

Unfortunately, If you are looking for a treatment to "fix" degenerative joint disease, there are none. However, chiropractic care is well known for its ability to reduce pain for people with degenerated joints (arthritis). Once you have reached an advanced stage of joint degeneration...pain control is really the only option. This is why lifestyle choices are so important when we are young, to try to prevent joint degeneration (good diet, exercise, etc.).

To obtain a license, you must pass state and national board exams. Some board exams have multiple parts that can be taken while the student is still in school, so a student can graduate and be immediately licensed if they have met all the requirements of the state in which they choose to practice.

Disease of nerve roots is called radiculopathy. nerve root is part of the nerve that exits from spinal cord. radiculopathy can be caused by disc or some diseases like diabetes can cause inflammation of nerve root.

The Ontario College of Physicians recognize traditional Chinese medicine, which includes shiatsu, as being a part of Canadian medicine. With this recognition, the Ontario College of Physicians supported legislation to oversee traditional Chinese medicine, both in colleges and in practices.

The vast majority of chiropractors work regular work hours during the day and do not work night shifts.

The cost of a chiropractic license is a bit difficult to measure. In order to obtain a license, you must complete a doctoral program and an internship, and in the United States, pass 4 parts of the National Board exams, each of which have multiple subjects.

At Palmer College of Chiropractic (the first chiropractic school in the world) and Parker University, the doctoral program is split into ten 4 month trimesters (three terms per year), and the tuition and fees per term is around $11000. Other expenses not included. Each part of the national board examinations costs several hundred dollars, and there is an optional Physical Therapy board that most chiropractic students opt to take as well. Many students pass these exams the first time, but if you don't you have to pay the fees each time until you do.

You will be required to purchase textbooks, lab materials, diagnostic equipment, etc. while in school as well.

During my orientation, we were told to expect to incur around $180,000 to $200,000 in student loan debt for our education, assuming that we would be borrowing for entire cost of living (that we didn't have a form of income while in school).

Some other information for you: After leaving school, your malpractice insurance will be extraordinarily inexpensive. Some practicing docs have given me ballpark figures around $2500 - $5000 per year.

Be prepared to work hard if you decide to enter a program. The attrition rate from my class was nearly 40% by the time we had completed our fourth trimester.
