You can increase your body’s ability to adapt to stress through proper nerve system hygeine including regular visits to your chiropractor for spinal adjustments to correct spinal subluxation and abnormal postural distortions. Observe proper body mechanics and ergonomics. Other than the chiropractic profession there is not one major health care system in the world that is addressing your power of healing from within. Your spine has two important jobs, support and protection. In December 1999 Research scientist published findings that only 6% of the nerves in the body feel pain. I you have nerve stress on one of the nerves that do not carry pain signal. What will you feel? Nothing. 94% of your bodies nerves can be interfered with and you won’t feel pain.
Chiropractors have been trained to specialize in taking physical interference out of bodies so that physical bodies will have the ability to one thing….HEAL! When your body is functioning and healing at 100% and you have better physical and emotional harmony….Do you think your chance of preventing disease or overcoming disease improves or lessens?
Your body works better with a good nerve supply!
Have your loved ones checked for vertebral subluxation.

Your health is priceless! Chiropractic Care is awesome. Part of its beauty and appeal is that it puts the power of your health back into your hands. Becoming more aware and learning about your spinal health and posture can help you understand how to care for your spine and optimize your health.
Simple ergonomic tips can help. Does your neck and upper back get tired or sore after working on the computer. Try to adjust your work station so that the middle of the monitor screen is above eye level when you are seated upright and looking straight ahead. When seated be sure to have low back support and keep the curve in your low back while seated upright.
Keeping hydrated by drinking appropriate amounts of pure fresh water is beneficial to your spinal health. Generally speaking, you should drink approximately half your body weight in ounces of water each day (for example, a 180 pound person should drink eleven 8 ounce cups of water) Not soda, coffee, tea, or energy drinks—WATER.
The intervertebral disc that lies between each vertebra consist of 85% water. If your body is dehydrated the spinal intervertebral disc will be effected. With the disc less adaptable to the effects of gravity they are more susceptible to injury (degeneration, wear and tear, herniated disc, bulging disc)
Posture is the window to the spine.
See Your Chiropractor regularly. Have your loved ones been checked?

Information from Joshua Woggon.
Core Muscles provide spinal stability. Most exercises, such as the ones typically performed in a health gym, do not work the core muscles. ”Isotonic” means with motion. Isotonic exercises, such as lifting weights, do not affect the core muscles responsible for improving your posture.
“Isometric” means without motion. Isometric exercises are performed against resistance, and affect the postural muscles.
It takes 12 weeks to develop muscle physiology.
Your chiropractor may give you specific exercises and stretches to do to help correct postural and spinal distortions.
A foolish man will spend his youth sacrificing his health to increase his wealth… then waste his golden years sacrificing his wealth to improve his health.
Take Charge of your own health!

“Posture affects and moderated every physiologic function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse and lung capacity are among the functions most easily influenced by posture.”- American Journal of Pain Management
Poor posture affects over 100 joints, dozens of muscles, including all core muscles. Poor posture diminishes lung capacity as the chest compresses inward and causes restriction in the lungs ability to function. Poor posture diminishes cardio-capacity and reduces physical performance, reduces range of motion. Studies recently indicate that poor posture shortens your life span
Specific adjustments with individualized rehabilitation including traction and mirror image exercises help to reverse some of the abnormal muscle and ligament changes that lead to poor posture.
Good Posture=Good Function=Good Health
With Poor Posture more energy is needed to perform or control movements: Forward head posture puts increased stress on the cervical-thoracic spine and requires more work from the erector spinae muscles to maintain an upright posture.
With the added energy expenditure….Where is that extra energy coming from? It is being stolen from other areas of the body that possibly need it more.
Abnormal posture is making the body work harder, using more energy. That energy is probably better spent in other areas, heart, lung, digestion, immune system, brain, etc…..

www.clear-institute.com is an excellent website to get informed on scoliosis treatment options.
One study revealed, “Sixty three percent of Scoliosis was detected by family or friends. The number of cases being detected at school had dropped considerably to 8%. 56% of all cases presented with a Cobb angle of more than 40 degrees. The study shows that the most common method of detection was by family and friends. Seven of these cases were detected when the deformity was advanced with Cobb angles of more than 40 degrees. There was a drop in the number of cases detected at school when most of the curves are at an earlier stage. We believe that greater awareness is needed in the community for earlier recognition of idiopathic scoliosis.”

The position and balance of the human being while lying, sitting, standing, walking, the way in which we carry ourselves affects how we move, live, function and ultimately our health and longevity.
Posture is the window to the spine. If someones posture is out of balance, bent over or sideways, or rotated in some way, then that is a very good indication that their internal supporting structure (spine) is out of balance, bent over sideways, or rotated in some way. In other words abnormal posture is a sign of spinal distortion and misalignment.
“Posture affects and moderates every physiologic function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse and lung capacity are among the functions most easily influenced by posture.” -American Journal of Pain Management
Posture Perfect! Mark Twain said “Posture is the key to life.” We couldn’t agree more! That’s why in addition to specific mirror image spinal adjustments we utilize a system of spinal weighting and traction that really gets results when it comes to improving posture.
Has your family’s posture been analyzed lately?
