Abnormal Posture

It has been known for years that body posture is like a "Window into the Shape of the Spinal Column". Body Postural problems aid the doctor of chiropractic in identifying a variety of dysfunctions in the spinal column. Abnormal Postures can cause or relate to a number of health problems.

Figure 1 shows that Abnormal Posture is always associated with an abnormal spine. Abnormal Posture causes increased force and pressure on the muscles, ligaments, and bones of your spinal column. These abnormal forces (caused by abnormal posture) lead to a break down of body tissues causing pain and damage. Figure 2 shows Ideal Posture Alignment.
