Don't Be A Slouch!


Proper posture supports the body in a balanced, functional way. Most people don’t think about proper posture, and if you are one of those people, it may be of great value to you to consider having your posture checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic, who can create positive changes in your posture.

The following statement is provided by Dr. Alf Brieg, a Nobel prize recipient and Neurosurgeon, who performed extensive research on the Human nervous system and the surrounding structures that connect to it, namely the spinal column.

“Pressing on a nerve stretches the nerve; stretching the nerve reduces its ability to carry nerve impulses (conductivity); and if the nerve is not damaged, taking the stretch off the nerve will relieve the symptoms and restore normal nerve function.”

What presses on these nerves is usually a spinal column that does not have proper structure and posture.

What this all leads to is one simple question: Do you have proper spinal posture? Chances are that the answer is NO!! The results can be very unhealthy. Most people don’t even know how to go about implementing positive changes in their posture. Here are some choices available to you, and in combination, they are much more effective than doing any one alone.

(1) Chiropractic care - Helps to improves posture, balance, and function of the nervous system and the entire body.

(2) Preventative lifestyle - Helps to insure that you will lead a healthier and more productive life as you enter into your later years.

(3) Muscular strengthening and stretching - This will allow proper function and balance in the musculoskeletal system, as well as affecting spinal posture in a positive way.
