I never knew there was a spinal infection that caused this kind of problems. I know that spine is very complex and that many people have serious problems with their spines. Some get them worked out with our modern medicines and others by adjustments. I hope and pray I never have any such difficulties and I feel for those who do. Thanks for this informative post!
