This
special section allows you to 'see' into the anatomy
of the body in a virtual 3D environment. It illustrates
what happens to the spine and muscles in the most common
spinal problems.
You can 'play' with the anatomical displays in a simple and interactive
manner, making them move through there normal motions. You can see the muscles stretching and contracting also..
I
have been treating spinal problems for many years. This section
contains a growing collection of illustrations and object movies
which attempt to show in simple, visual terms what commonly goes
wrong with the spine and other areas when we injure them.
It
can be very helpful to be able to 'see' what has happened to
us in order that we can directly understand the nature of the
problem and the reasons for our pain. To that end I have created
this section with as few words to get in the way as possible.
If your curiosity is tweaked, then so much the better.
The
most common traumas to the spine are usually described using very
general jargon such as 'torn muscle', strained ligament', pinched
nerve', 'slipped disc' and so on. Of even less use are terms like
osteo-arthritis and spondylosis when used to describe our pain. They
don't help very much and are often used inappropriately. Go to the GLOSSARY page if you
are in need of terminological clarification.
The
visual approach enables both sufferer and practitioner to understand,
in a fundamental and mechanical sense, what happens
to the body, how to avoid the pain, prevent it and reverse
it. It takes many years of study and observation to glimpse
the visualisations that I impart to you, for your benefit.
Look, interact and learn. You
should try to directly relate what you see on-screen to your own
anatomy. If you have any specific questions about any related problem
that you may be experiencing, then do not hesitate to email
me, I will reply to you as soon as I can. |
