Slight spinal distortions and cur

Unfortunately for our health"
DIR. Lidenberg. the spine is not
seen several times a day as are
our teeth and eyes. for instance.
We are cmbari asscd by dccayed
teeth and squinted or crossed ewes
and we do what we can to correct
them as quickly as possible but
our spines, hidden from view. keep
curving worse and worse. And
often. instead of correcting them
we have them camouflagcd by
padded shoulders and draping
waist lines.
Surveys among school children
indicate that about 20 per cent
have spinal defects in some degree.
Their arches. eyes. ears. and teeth
are examined regularly but a spine
seldom receives a second glance
unless its owner is an obvious
cripple.
And yet, the spine houses the
body's power and communications
system both of which are impaired
by spinal defects which can lower
the individuals efficiency to work
and to learn as well as lower his
resistance to disease"
