Another reason is the imbalance of the symmetrical state of the muscles on either side of the spine. The cause here can be insufficient exercise or over exertion of muscles. When we constantly work or play in the same position, muscle strain can occur. Emotional tension can cause muscles to become tense and permanently foreshortened. Correct posture should be maintained.
Incorrect posture places great strain on the structure of the spine.
These result, as we have stated, from spinal subluxation. These pinchings may also be influenced by muscles associated with the spine. This is why we suggest iridology or reflexology as another confirmatory diagnostic tool. This way, we can tell if it is actually the back that is out of alignment, or the diseased part of the body sending a message to the brain through the nerves and the spinal cord. Pain in the kidneys, located on either side of the spine in the middle back area of the body, is often relieved through the use of diuretic herbs and foods.
