There are visible and often painful problems that come with spinal imbalance.

What is spinal imbalance?

Sore muscles, headaches, inflamed joints, or mysterious aches and pains. For many these are the first signs of long-standing structural problems in the spine, known as spinal imbalance.

What causes spinal imbalance?

Most of our spinal stress begins when the heavy head (a 10 to 14 pound structure) misaligns with the small neck underneath it.

The head moves away from the body’s center of gravity, shifting away from the full support of the neck. This is the upper-cervical misalignment, a primary cause of spinal imbalance.

What happens after upper-cervical misalignment?

Body tension and imbalance that you can actually see, if you know what to look for.

In response to the head being off-center of the body,

• Head to toe, muscles of the body become unbalanced, leading to unequal pulling on spinal vertebrae and painful “fixations” in the spine
• There is a twist in the pelvis and hips, creating the appearance of a “short leg” and the spine loses its stable base
• Unequal weight is carried on each half of the body, leading to joint aches and pains as the body breaks down faster on one side than the other
• Finally the quality of the blood flow (nutrition) to important nervous system issue in the spinal cord/brain stem is affected, negatively impacting internal organ systems, creating multiple and often confusing symptoms

Simply put, it takes a lot more energy to fight gravity while you’re out of balance.

By carefully restoring head and neck alignment, the body can halt and begin to reverse the effects of spinal stress. Body balance is restored.
