How do I know if my spine is out of alignment?
We are bor
n with spines that are straight up and down from the front a
nd three distinct curves from the side. Stresses such as poor posture, acute and cumulative trauma, and physical neglect can cause our spines to stray from their natural spinal alignments.
A spine out of alignment will create Vertebral Subluxation Degeneration of varying degrees. Where as many people have normal spines early in their lives, spinal misalignments can happen at any age. Many Vertebral Subluxations remain undetected in adults of all ages.
The only way to determine if Vertebral Subluxation patterns are present in a spine is to perform a thorough exam and X-rays. Only Doctors of Chiropractic are formally trained and licensed to detect and correct Vertebral Subluxations through specific spinal adjustments.
