People sprain their ankle frequently. In order to heal that sprain, you must rest it and then rehab it back to get back to full function. The more you sprain your ankle, the more chance that you will continue to injure your ankle and lead to permanent pain and problems. The reason for this is because ligaments that hold the ankle in place get stretched and damaged.

Did you know that you can also damage your ligaments in your spine? What can cause this?

• Motor vehicle crashes

• Sports injuries

• Concussions

• Poor posture while working

• Forward head position

• Reversed neck curve

• Genetics

What does this do to your health? People that have injured ligaments in their spine will have increased chance of chronic neck pain, chronic low back pain, chronic middle back pain, and other chronic pain issues. The reason for this is because the muscles have to contract to hold the unstable spine in place. This will lead to constant muscle pain that will lead people to think that they need a massage or manipulation of the spine. This will lead to temporarily relief as the issue was not addressed. This leads to frustration, feeling hopeless about the condition, and dependency on medication, chiropractic, and massage to get through the day.

Other symptoms that are even worse for patients include vertigo, migraines/headaches, numbness/tingling down the arms and hands, pain down the arms and hands, chronic fatigue, insomnia, sleep issues, anxiety, increased stress, decreased immune system, chronic illnesses, depression, brain fog, and other issues. The reason for this is because when the upper part of the spine is unstable, this will change nerve signals back to the brain. When the nerve signals get changed, then symptoms may develop.
