😱 Paziente si sveglia completamente bloccato e mi chiama per un'urgenza 😱

Valerio called me for an emergency, having blocked his neck after sleeping on his stomach with 4 pillows. This position is extremely harmful to the spine, especially in its cervical and lumbar sections because it induces a forced extension and torsion of the vertebrae, which are not designed to support this mechanical load in a sustained way 🥶 In acute cases like this, there is usually one or more underlying and silent dysfunctions, already weeks before the problem manifests itself, therefore, I had to start looking for these dysfunctions, understand the dynamics and the causes behind the dynamics 🧐 Usually I do a quick screening of the body, which tells me which system to give priority to in the evaluation. In Valerio's case we went to check his physiological situation, where we found some problems that activated reflexes on the spine, making it vulnerable to vertebral blocks that we chiropractors call subluxations ❌ Once we performed all the corrections that harmonized and restored the correct metabolic and biochemical functions, we went to treat the symptomatic aspect of the case, evaluating all the correction parameters on the blocks that had occurred on the spine. This means: understanding the direction of the correction, the vertebral segments involved (to isolate and correct them specifically and precisely) and testing the muscles to understand the appropriate order of correction to maximize the corrective effect of the adjustments on the body ❗ By doing so, Valerio reports an instant improvement, which however must be stabilized with some changes in lifestyle, especially in eating habits, postural and with follow-up checks to prevent any recurrence of the problem ✅ 👨🏻‍⚕️ DC Federico Distefano
