What causes spinal or extremity joint fixation/dysfunction?
Loss of spinal or extremity joint mobility (joint dysfunction/fixation) can occur due to: 1)Macrotrauma such as a sports injury, work related injury or auto accident. 2)Microtrauma due to repetitive use, postural stress or poor ergonomics (work environment). An example of this would be carpal tunnel syndrome. 3)Emotional stress or mental abuse. 4)Chemical stress due to poor nutrition and diet.
