Turning a Moment of Change Into Transformational Momentum for Chronic Pain Management

Sit-ups May Cause Back Pain

Is Cracking Your Back Bad For Arthritis?

At a young age, we were warned not to twist to crack our backs so we don’t get arthritis. The sensation may feel good and is most likely not a cause of an existing arthritic condition. Instead, an autoimmune disease, where the body attacks the joint tissues, could cause arthritis, or the joints could have just naturally degenerated. Since we know that cracking your back cannot cause arthritis, our physicians want to describe the effects…

What Is Bone Cement and How Is It Used?

In fact, it starts out as a fine powder composed of methyl methacrylate. Methyl methacrylate is most commonly used as bone cement, but it can also be used to make resin (filling for your teeth) or some plastics. A physician mixes…
