Did I solve the mystery of 'subluxation'?
In the comments of this text
https://mayerchiropractic.com/subluxation-explained/
is a comment that to compress the nerves needs enormous force (and breaks the bones). But I think that there is more AROUND it: The nerve gets out of its channel aside of or between the bones. And then... it is in the free world. THERE the forces can compress it. And no-one can differentiate whether BONES press or whether it is muscles gone wild, which make the pressure.
I never dug deep into these matters, but as far as I know there are local "brains", that is nerve organizations, which at a very low local level work on muscles - and can make feedback loops. This organizational structure does make sense. When a blow hits the body and the spine is hit, then just right there, the local "brain" causes IMMEDIATE contraction, holding the body together.
For the brain brain in the head, the time delay and the brain-work is too much, it is much too slow.
The local "brains" would/could handle the situation right on the spot, damned fast.
Now, when such a local "brain" goes wild, then there is a local contraction and a local compression, which can cause pain.
But my interest is not the pain, but a "self-holding" property: when a "brain" is triggered, it does not release the muscles immediately, but holds the tension. And, this is one of the bad things, can continue for decades, for whatever reasons. The muscles NEVER stop.
Local "brains" gone wild could be an explanation. But I was never able to find the spot(s), WHERE the cause is.
Local "brains" gone wild could be an explanation.
I think that orthopedic surgeons and neurologists, both, think too short-sighted, and that they should include the other part of the matter as well. And muscles, as the third part, they also should include.
One example to think about: chiropractors and physiotherapists apply great force. But there is a very simple method they COULD use: put a patient over a bent surface (like over a little hill). The gravity will tear with a low force, and over time, the body will follow it.
I think that applying a great force (exceeding a certain amount) will trigger the muscles into a different state ("I MUST PULL !!!"), instead of loosening its grip. Applying a low force could get around that.
Many things simply are not looked at, or, worse, even willfully ignored.
