When Your Chiropractor Told You To Stand Up Straight, He Wasn’t Joking Around!

July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Three recent articles in this medical journal  (The Impact of Positive Sagittal Balance in Adult Spinal Deformity (Spine Journal), Spinal Kyphosis Causes Demyelination and Neuronal Loss in the Spinal Cord: A New Model of Kyphotic Deformity (Spine Journal) and A hypothesis of chronic back pain: ligament subfailure injuries lead to muscle control dysfunction (European Spine Journal) ) not only have a lot of big words in their titles but they confirm the concept that the shape of your spine determines the function of your body.  

Now when we talk about shape, there are two things that need to be addressed.  Shape means having the correct curves in your spine from the side view and also means having joints that are mobile and full of flexibility.   The most interesting one for me is the one that talks about Sagittal Balance. The conclusions from the article were: There is a DETERIORATION of health status with progressive forward head [posture]. ALL measures of health status showed significantly poorer scores as [forward head posture increased]. Even MINOR forward head [posture] is DETRIMENTAL. The SEVERITY of Symptoms increases in a linear fashion with progressive increase of forward head [posture]. There was CLEAR evidence of INCREASED PAIN and DECREASED FUNCTION as the magnitude of forward head [posture] increased.

What does this mean for you?  It means your chiropractor knew more than you thought and maybe even more than the chiropractor thought!   Standing up correctly, ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips and hips over ankles will help you live a healthier life, with less pain and increased function of your entire body.

This is why our posture analysis is a great indicator of your health. It is extremely important to get your posture checked regularly to find out if there are any misalignments that need to be corrected. Don't wait until the weekend or until you are retired or until you have enough money. Remember Spine, the most prestigious orthopedic journal in the world says it's true so it must have some validity.
