Is your spine like a worn out tire?

One of the most common causes of a worn out car tire is the wheel alignment.  When the wheels are not aligned properly there is an excess of friction on the tire from the road.  This causes the tire to wear down.  The same is true with your spinal bones.  If the alignment of the spinal bones is off, there is an excess of friction on the surface of the bones.  This friction causes the bones to wear done or degenerate.  This condition is called degenerative joint disease or arthritis.
