Biomechanics Pioneer Redefining Orthopedics is a fascinating article for both chiropractors and ballet/sports/fitness buffs.
It also refers to several sportsmedicine.org articles on biomechanics as well. The material is fairly clinical, so if you have questions about it just ask your chiropractor!

I found a great article today at www.empowereddoctor.com. Here’s a little excerpt:
“According to American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons board member Michael Schafer, a Chicago orthopedic surgeon, “The more you can be proactive and work on this yourself, the better you’ll do.” Use supplements. Even though scientific studies are inconsistent on glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, “a number of my patients tell me it helps them, and I believe them,” one orthopedist says.”

If you have been diagnosed with a bulging disc or a herniated disc (usually with a MRI) in the neck or lower back you should seek alternative treatments before you jump to the knife. Some of the neck symptoms would be pain in the neck area lasting more than 2 months, pain and tingling down the arm to the hand. In extreme cases numbness and weakness in the arms and hands. As in the lower back would be pain starting in the lower back area then going down the buttucks into the back of the leg into the the foot. In extreme cases would be tingling, numbness and weakness in the legs and feet.
TREATMENT:
There are a lot of treatments out there now that can save you from surgery. One of them being decompression therapy with a flexion-distraction table which is less than half the cost of the other decompression treatments per session. 76% success rate.
SO DON’T GO TO SURGERY UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED THESE TREATMENTS!!!
