How Chiropractic Treatment Helps Posture

Posture is position of the body while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture, also referred to as neutral spine, has many health benefits, including the avoidance of injury back pain. Chiropractic can help improve and maintain posture. 

​

Why is Posture Important

Appearance benefits with good posture are obvious, but there are many less-obvious health benefits you should know. Good posture can:

• Maintain correct alignment of bones and joints

• Reduce stress on ligaments, minimizing risk of injury

• Prevent muscle strain, overuse and pain

• Conserve energy as muscles are used more efficiently

• Decrease abnormal joint wear

 

Research has shown that poor postures may increase feelings of depression, affect your digestive tract and influence confidence and stress levels. 

​

Signs You have Poor Posture

There are many indicators of poor posture, but some of the more common are hunched shoulders, rounded shoulders, rounded upper back, forward head carriage and arched lower back. Another indicator is back pain. Unsure if you have good posture? Talk to your chiropractor or schedule an appointment for a spinal examination.

​

Factors that Contribute to Poor Posture 

There are several common factors linked to poor posture:

• Stress

• Obesity

• Pregnancy

• Weak postural muscles

• Abnormally tight muscles

• High-heeled shoes

 

How to Maintain or Correct Posture

The first step is awareness! Bring your attention to your posture as you sit, stand or lie down. If you're sitting, keep both feet on the floor or a footrest, don't cross your legs and use low-back support. While standing, keep your knees slightly bent, relax your arms and pull your shoulders back. When lying down it's critical to choose the right mattress and pillow, and avoid sleeping on your stomach.

​

The above in Red, is just BAD ADVISE!!! ALL THOSE THINGS HAPPEN NATURALY ONCE YOU FIND THE PROBLEM AND REMOVE IT.

​

TRUTH: Your posture holds you. You can only hold your posture as long as you are thinking about it. Right?

As soon as you think anything but posture, you will not "hold your posture".

Sit up straight! If you can keep sitting up, you will NOT BE PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING ELSE.

​

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING TO CORRECT YOUR POSTURE, IT IS CORRECT THE INJURIES THAT HAVE CAUSED YOUR POSTURAL DISTORTION.

​

1. BREAK UP SCAR TISSUE

2. FIND MUSCLES THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF

3. TURN THOSE MUSCLE BACK ON

4. FIND THE NERVE INTERFERENCE: PERIFERAL NERVES, CENTRAL NERVES AND BRAIN

5. GIVE THE BODY WHAT IT NEEDS THRU DIET AND PROPER FOOD PREPARATION

6. RESTORE NERVE CONTROL OVER THE MUSCLES

7. FIND THE SUBCONSCIOUS PROGRAMS THAT ARE ACTIVATED BY STIMULUS TRIGGERS

8. CHANGE THE LEARNED SUBCONSIOUS PROGRAM THAT IS FIGHTING AGAINST YOU

 

NOW YOU HAVE CHANGED PHYSICAL, MENTAL/EMOTIONAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS TO RESTORE YOUR POSTURE NATURALLY. NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT YOUR POSTURE TO "HAVE GOOD POSTURE".

 

NOW YOUR POSTURE HOLDS YOU​

Importance of Chiropractic Care and Therapies

Your chiropractor can help you to maintain and correct your posture through chiropractic adjustments, exercises and recommendations on proper positions during different activities. 

HERE IS ANOTHER STATEMENT THAT IS NOT QUITE TRUE.

 

TRUTH: NOT ALL CHIROPRATIC TREATMENTS ARE CORRECTIVE.

​

     IF YOU GET A HEADACHE AND YOU GET ADJUSTED AND YOUR HEADACHE GOES AWAY BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK, YOU ARE NOT FINDING THE PROBLEM AND CORRECTING IT. 

​

      THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS INSURANCE DOESN'T PAY CHIROPRACTORS TO CORRECT ANYTHING. THEY PAY TO PATCH YOU UP, GET YOU OUT THE DOOR QUICKLY. 

 

YOU USUALLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

​

     MOST CHIROPRACTORS TODAY HAVE ABANDONED THIER HERITAGE BECAUSE ANY THING MORE IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE.  IT COST MONEY AND TIME TO LEARN THE THINGS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE HEALTH CHANGES WE DO. DOING WHAT THEY SAY CAN'T BE DONE.

​

     IF YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT, THEY ARE RIGHT! THEY CAN'T FIX IT. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN IT CAN'T BE FIXED.

​

     IF I TOLD YOU IT NEEDS A CHANGE IN DIET, MAYBE SOME SUPPLEMENTS, ACUPUNTURE/PRESSURE, ADJUSTMENTS TO THE JOINTS OF THE BODY, BREAK UP SCAR TISSUE AND ADHESIONS. THIS WOULD BE TYPICAL FOR OUR PATIENTS BUT MEDICAL DOCTORS ARE NOT TRAINED TO DO THESE THINGS AND MOST CHIROPRACTORS EITHER.

 

     CHIROPRACTORS CAN BE TRAINED BUT THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEARN ALL THESE THINGS. THEY ARE TAUGHT TO ADJUST AND A FEW THERAPIES LIKE HOT PACK, ICE PACK, OR ULTRASOUND.

​

     SOME ARE TAUGHT SOME REHAB EXERCISES BUT MOST DON'T DEAL WITH NUTRITION, BALANCING HORMONES, ADJUSTING ORGANS, MUSCLE TESTING. MOST DON'T EVEN DO THE ORTHOPEDIC/NEUROLOGIC TESTING.

​

     WE MEASURE WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT CHANGED. WE TAKE WHAT EVER YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE AND THEN FIND WHAT IS CAUSING IT. WE APPLY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND EDUCATE OUR PATIENTS SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR HEALTH. OUR PATIENT QUIT LIVING IN FEAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED WHERE THEIR HEALTH IS AND HOW TO FIND IT AND KEEP IT.

​

     MOST MEDICAL DOCTORS AND CHIROPRACTORS DON'T TEACH THEIR PATIENTS

• HOW TO AVOID STROKE OR HEART ATTACK,

• CHANGE DIABETES,

• CHANGE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

 

     BUT THE COULD LEARN IF THEY WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME AND SPEND THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE WE DO AT THE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CENTER.

 

DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR FREE?

​

    ME EITHER, THAT IS WHY THE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CENTER IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY WANT US TO SIGN A CONTRACT THAT SAYS WE WILL DO THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CARE, PATCH YOU UP AND GET YOU OUT THE DOOR. NOW, IF THAT IS THE KIND OF CARE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, I'M SURE THERE IS SOMEONE DOWN THE STREET THAT TAKES INSURANCE AND WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.

 

     WE WON'T DO THAT TO OUR PATIENTS!

​

WOULD YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD OR BE HEALTHY? 

THERE ARE MANY DISEASES WHERE YOU FEEL GOOD BUT AND NOT HEALTHY AND YOU COULD EVEN DIE. 

​

THERE ARE ALSO MANY DISEASES THEY CAN COVER OVER THE SYMPTOMS SO YOU DON'T COMPLAIN. OH, THEY CAN MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD BUT YOU WON'T BE HEALTHY JUST COVERING OVER THE SYMPTOMS. RIGHT?

​

DID YOU KNOW THE FIRST SIGN THAT YOU HAVE HEART DISEASE IS USUALLY YOUR LAST SIGN IN OVER 50% OF THE CASES. IT IS THE FIRST SIGN AND LAST SIGN BECAUSE THEY DIED!

​

I TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED, NOT WHAT INSURANCE PAYS FOR. WE USE WHAT WORKS.
