What are Secondary Conditions?
If a structural shift occurs, it can create many secondary conditions or symptoms. They are called secondary conditions because they are caused by the primary structural shift, or underlying cause. The specific details revealed by your examination will give us an idea about your secondary conditions and how to address each compromise. Some of these include:
- ADD/ADHD – Attention deficit disorder and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Arm Pain (Upper & Lower) – Could be caused by irritation to the cervical spine nerves
- Asymmetry (Ex: low Shoulder) – muscle imbalances from poor nerve communication traveling out of the spine can result in hypertonic (too much muscle tone) muscles on one side and hypotonic (not enough muscle tone) on the opposite side.
- Blood Pressure (High and Low) –
- Bone Spurs- Reduced spinal mobility of only 4 weeks can result in the beginning of spinal degeneration.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome- Issues in the joints of the neck, shoulder elbow, and wrist can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. Our doctors assess whether carpal tunnel syndrome is primary or is from a secondary condition. Read more HERE
