I have seen patients endure years of treatment directed toward reducing inflammation, strengthening or relaxing muscles, surgery or just controlling pain with only partial relief. Muscle treatments, like “core” strengthening, stretching or massage will help somewhat but will not solve the joint problem. Joint problems underlie most back and neck pain, as well as pain in other joints. When you increase the speed of the treatment, the amount of force needed is much less. Even gentler - often used for seniors, young children, patients in acute pain or those who are very nervous about manipulation - is a handheld tool that thrusts into the joint faster than any hand can.

When the doctor gives a quick push, the table drops, delivering a thrust to the joint that is quicker and gentler than the typical manual style. These sections can be raised about an inch under the problem area. It can also be done with special tables with built-in “drop” sections. But the treatment does not need to be done exclusively by hand. The key part of the manipulation is the quick, shallow thrust. If the manipulation is successful, the doctor can feel the joint is looser, and it continues to improve until it is normalized. Every joint has its own “feel.” When you are trained to evaluate for it, you can quickly pick up problems that do not show on a regular exam, an X-ray, even an MRI. But if the joint does not move properly, it will become inflamed and painful.

The stiffness in the joint can be very subtle, and it takes training and practice to feel it. I recall a class in chiropractic school where we were trained to assess the normal play of nearly every joint in the body, from the top of the neck to the low back, even the joints of the arms and legs. I wrote this song to give myself a little push toward the latter.The other theory is that the joints stiffen and become restricted, similar to a tight muscle, and the manipulation releases the stiffness in the joint. The song isn’t meant to be sad, though, just cathartic - I felt as though I was floating in a gray area between naïveté and the inner peace that comes from overcoming adversity. The lyrics in the first verse are youthful and idealistic, whereas the second verse is a bit more cynical and confused. I was experiencing anxiety for the first time around then, which can really pull the rug out from underneath you and cause the comforts and values you took for granted to suddenly feel a lot less meaningful and reassuring. “I was having a weird, sort of pre-quarter-life crisis at the time of the song, which is reflected both musically and lyrically.

that causes relatively minor trauma to the spine, such as opening a window.

It’s a giddy piece of experimental pop, twisting around the duality of youthful optimism and the encroaching anxiety of adulthood. Prebish wrote the song as an 18-year-old wandering around Mexico City while on vacation with his family. Choice of treatment for a spine compression fracture depends first on. She's participated on virtually all aspects of our projects, including UI, 2D and 3D animations, visual effects and marketing materials - always with amazing quality, organization and speed. New single “Lines and Lines and Lines End” demonstrates the kind of aural magic that can happen when all the right pieces fall into place.
