The musculoskeletal system relies on the intricate relationship between bones, muscles, and nerves. The three components of the musculoskeletal system work together to provide support, movement, and stability for the body. The bones form the foundation of the system and provide a structure for the muscles to attach and generate force. The muscles, in turn, contract and relax to produce movement and stability, while the nerves control and coordinate the actions of the bones and muscles. Dysfunction or damage in any of these components can lead to pain and impaired function in the others. Chronic pain can cause further dysfunction and degeneration in the system, creating a cycle of pain, damage and dysfunction. Over the counter medications or pain injections may improve or cover up symptoms, but the actual source of pain and damage is not addressed for long term improvement.
For residents of Birmingham, Michigan seeking Chiropractic care, addressing the underlying dysfunction or degeneration in all three components – bones, muscles, and nerves – is crucial to relieving pain and improving overall function and health. This may involve a combination of approaches, such as soft tissue techniques or targeted exercises to restore proper movement and function. Chiropractic adjustments are also used to address alignment and optimize nerve function. Diet, supplementation and modalities like shock wave therapy are used to manage pain and inflammation. By addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction, it is possible to break the cycle of degeneration and improve the overall function of the musculoskeletal system.
