When bending forward, bend at the knees and hips, but keep your back straight. This will help to keep your spine's curvature in proper alignment. When lifting, keep your spine straight while using your legs to do most of the work. Hold the objects being lifted close to your body to keep the weight on your spine to a minimum. Subluxations may be caused by poor sleeping habits, poor posture, strenuous exercise, injuries, auto accidents, sports, slips or falls, and in some cases, the birthing process itself.
Chiropractic adjustments are very helpful in correcting subluxations and restoring optimal health.
In 1964, Dr. George Goodheart, a second generation chiropractor first made clinical observations about muscle testing responses. Since those first observations, the practice of applied kinesiology has grown world-wide. The foundation of applied kinesiology integrates the physical, emotional and nutrition aspects of health. This is done using muscle testing in conjunction with many standard physical, orthopedic and laboratory tests. Neuro Emotional Technique, N.E.T. Neuro Emotional Technique, developed by Dr. Scott Walker, is a more direct approach to finding and eliminating neuro emotional links to health.
