When the spine is out of alignment, undesirable pressure points are formed that create a domino effect as the misalignment continues to worsen. If everything of bone and muscle is where it is supposed to be, the body can readily maintain good health. Clearly, the same applies to the relationship between lower back pain and chiropractic care.
