Why Proper Spinal Alignment Matters

Why is proper spinal alignment so
important for your health? Well, let’s
first establish what normal is. From the
front, we should be straight. Our head
should rest right over the center of our
chest down through our hips down to the
center of our feet. That’s from the
front. From the side, we’re meant to
have these curves. Okay? Now, these
curves create stability in the spine
balance. It allows the joints to move
properly, articulate with the one above
and below. So, you can move your head,
move your trunk, move your hips. And
it’s important that things are
symmetrical and bound from left to
right. Because what happens is if your
spine stepped like this and rotated like
this and those joints don’t glide the
same. They get stuck. They get
restricted. It creates irritation in the
area. It creates inflammation. The
nerves can be affected and that’s the
most important part of this. Your brain
and your spinal cord sit up here and the
spinal cord runs the length through your
spinal column and what protects that is
the bones of your spine. And what
protects obviously your brain is your
skull. However, we were developed, we
were developed like this because we know
that how important and vital dysfunction
is. So, what happens is if the joints
don’t articulate well, they don’t move
well, they’re not positioned properly,
it can irritate the delicate nerve
tissue and affect the signal that the
brain will send down the spinal cord and
out the spinal nerves to every organ
tissue cell in your body. When there’s
an interruption of that pathway, it
causes the body not be able to heal and
adapt properly. So, it’s important that
each of these joints are moving properly
and there’s no restrictions and it’s in
its best alignment. And that’s where
chiropractic is so important.
Chiropractic focuses on two things. Uh
alignment, making sure your posture,
everything is balanced, left to right,
top to bottom. And also making sure
there’s no restrictions in those joints
so your body has the opportunity to
