Structural Degeneration

 

-Graceful Posture

-Equal Joint Spacing

-Normal Functional Mobility and Structural Stability

 

Phase 1

Functional Mobility dysfunction can lead to

 

-Muscle Imbalances & Compensation 

-Fascial Adhesions

-Muscle Contractures

-Joint Malalignment

-Impaired Functional Stability

Phase 2

Structural Stability dysfunction can lead to

 

-Loss of Structural Alignment

-Minor Narrowing of Joint Space

-Joint Hypomobility

-Impaired Structural Mobility

Phase 3

If ignored can deteriorate to

 

-Major Narrowing of Joint Space

-Roughening Joint Surfaces

-Bone Spurs

-Reduced Joint Range of Motion

Phase 4

If neglected can degenerate to

 

-Severe Bone Remodeling

-Irreversible Joint Effusion

-Permanent Loss of Structure and Function
