Analogy of the Muscular

System
The muscular system is said to be like a pulley system. When you have a rusty wheel that doesnt turn
well, you are forced to pull the rope harder and becomes a struggle. The system wont be as efficient as
it usually is. Chiropractic fixes the inefficiencies and restores normal strength and range of motion.

Muscular Dystrophy
- a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
-abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to
form healthy muscle.
- genetic.
-It disables patients to walk.
There is no cure; however, there are medications that can help manage and
