All of
these symptoms are potentially caused by misalignments of the
spine and can often be resolved with proper chiropractic care.
If you checked any of the above listed symptoms, have someone
help you check your posture with the following checklist:
 |
Is
your head positioned level?
Y N |
 |
Are
your shoulders at the same level?
Y N |
 |
Are
your shoulder-blades at the same level?
Y N |
 |
Are
your hips at the same level?
Y N |
Why are these levels so important?
When you identify a part of your body where one side is higher
than the other, it means your spine is not entirely straight and
likely has an extra curve. This could place excessive stress on
portions of your spine resulting in disc and nerve problems.
Ignoring these problem areas often leads to more severe problems
down the road. When postural problems or recurring symptoms from
the list above are noticed, we recommend you schedule a thorough
chiropractic assessment.
