Everyone knows that good posture is important and goes a long way
in making a favorable, first impression.
The slumped over, belly forward person is not only negatively impacting
his health, he is sending a clear message that he just doesn't care about his
looks - or his well being.
But it isn’t quite as easy as just standing tall, though that is
a good start. The spine is an immensely complex organism which can - and does -
sustain disruption throughout life, beginning with the birth process, and
requires regular care to keep it in proper alignment.
Such disruption leads to subluxations - pressure on nerve endings
caused by misaligned disks. That they
cause discomfort is self evident, but did you know that such pressure negatively
impacts blood and nutrient flow to our vital organs, leading not just to
distress but disease?
The diagram on the left provides a fascinating view of which
organs are affected by which vertebrae.
Clearly, good posture is a lot more than looking pretty. It lifts your mood, elevates your energy and
goes a long way in maximizing your overall health and physical performance.
So how do you get on track and stay there? For starters, by
getting an assessment of your spinal patterns and a care plan devised by your
chiropractor. Through regular
chiropractic adjustments and at home maneuvers, you will be taking the essential
steps to bring your spine into its innate and ideal alignment.
