Regular Chiropractic check-ups and adjustments prevent and, in some cases, reverse the effects of joint and disc degeneration in the spine. Medical studies dating back to the early 1980’s help prove the importance of spinal adjustments to prevent arthritis, decay, and degeneration of the spine. Many people do not yet understand the valuable relationship between chiropractic care and the prevention of spinal degeneration. Education remains an important step in improving the health care options for every family.

An old belief still exists that cracking knuckle joints leads to arthritis. Research put this theory to the test. Studies performed in the mid 1970’s and again in 2011 proved that no connection exists between cracking knuckles and arthritis. Dr. Donald Unger, a medical doctor, earned a Nobel Prize in 2009 for his sixty-year study proving that knuckle cracking did not contribute to arthritis. Not only was no correlation found between knuckle cracking and arthritis, but the research also showed a completely opposite effect. People who regularly cracked the knuckle joints in their hand experienced less arthritis than those who did not. These findings help further clarify the benefits and unique value of long-term chiropractic adjustments on the spine.
