About Chiropractic
GOOD POSTURE ...
All your life, you have been told to
"stand up straight ... watch your
posture".
Hopefully, you have taken that
advice. You will look better and have more
energy if you do. Actually, there is much
more to posture than most people realize.
Your posture is the position of your
ligaments, muscles, and spinal bones,
and the condition they are in.
If the position is out of balance, then the spine is out of balance, putting unhealthy pressure on your nervous system. Activities as subtle as sleeping, standing, or walking abnormally; to more obvious
traumas like emotionall stress, work or auto
injuries, recreational injuries and even the
birth process itself can result in spinal imbalance.
Your spine is the most important factor affecting your posture.
In order to have the best possible posture (and health), your
spine has lo be in the best possible condition.
EQUALS GOOD HEALTH
Optimal posture is a vital key to
achieving optimal health for each person
in your family
Early detection and
elimination of subluxation will lead to a
healthy nervous system at any stage of life.
From a rear view - your spine should be
perfectly straight, and each of the 24 spinal
bones stacked precisely on top of each
0- other (see figure 1). Looking at the spine
from the side you should see three curves,
each having a 60' arc (figure 2). It's been
observed in nature, engineering, physics
and geometry that a 60. arc offers the strongest defense against the destructive forces of gravity and motion.
What is Vertebral
Subluxation?
When a spinal vertebra shift out of alignment,
it may put damaging pressure on the spinal
nerves causing interruption to the vital nerve flow
within your body. This condition is referred to as
VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION.

Between the
spinal bones, called vertebrae, are nerves which transport
messages from the brain to all organs, tissues and cells in
the body. When the vertebrae are subluxated, the nerve
passageway is blocked, and the life energy flowing through
the nerve can be choked off. Any spinal imbalance will ,-i
cause areas of the spinal column to work harder in order to compensate for the area that is out of balance. This
interferes with your body's innate healing ability and
lowers your resistance.
Only 10% Of Your Entire Nervous System Carries or
Perceives Pain. Up To 90% Can Be Heavily Stressed
Without Any Alarm, Whistles Or Bells!
Vertebral
subluxation is commonly referred to as the "silent killer"
because there are usually no early warning symptoms. Since
your spinal cord (which carries your brain messages) runs
inside the spinal column, it stands to reason that the spinal,
column has the greatest opportunity to interfere with the
power of your nerve flow. In fact, that's exactly what does
occur.
Imagine the twenty-four moveable vertebrae which
make up the spinal column (including the skull, sacrum and
pelvis) undergoing continuous pressure from gravity. Then
add tension from prolonged or unusual patterns of sitting
and standing. Go further and consider the strain from
walking, exercising, or mild to significant injuries sustained.
Now let's compound this whole thing with the stress that
comes from personal professional and emotional tension.
If that wasn't enough, it's also well known that chemical
toxicity from foods, medications and the environment cause
reflexive stress to your spine. It's a wonder that healthy vital
messages from the brain ever get to the body at all!
If this condition is not corrected, your organs and glands
can not function properly and this can create abnormal
body chemistry, disease and accelerated deterioration.
