If your posture is distorted, your vertebrae are out of alignment. Misaligned vertebrae can scramble the information traveling over you nervous system. When your posture is distorted, your vertebrae become misaligned and the nerves exiting between the vertebrae, become pinched off. When a nerve is compressed like the red one in the graphic, information can not travel into or out from the central nervous system. Since the nervous system controls and coordinates ALL functions of the human body, postural abnormalities and spinal misalignments are important risk factors for ill health.
Some chiropractic methods remove nerve pressure at the vertebral level.
Other attempt to correct posture and spinal distortions. The Kukurin Method utilizes specific chiropractic techniques which have great success at correcting the spine. Spinal correction can be visualized through the postural analysis described above and on X-rays taken before treatment and after a course of chiropractic spinal reconstruction. There are hundreds of different chiropractic methods. Most provide dramatic pain relief without demonstrable post treatment changes to the spine.
