Posture is an indicator of overall health and well-being. Abnormal posture can lead to issues like headaches, back pain, and early arthritis as it causes misalignment of the spine. Through posture screenings, postural abnormalities can be identified and corrected early through techniques like chiropractic care to prevent further health problems. The document recommends checking posture as early as possible in both children and adults to address issues before they become more serious.

1. POSTURE SCREENINGThrough FAIRVIEW CHIROPRACTIC CENTER
How Normal Are You?
Posture is a window into health. For optimal
health and wellbeing, your head, hips, and feet
should balance upon one another, as seen from both
the front and side. If your posture deviates from
perfect balance, then your spine is also deviated
from the normal healthy position. Abnormal posture
has been associated with the development and
progression of many spinal conditions and injuries
including tension, headaches, migraines, neck pain,
back pain, disc problems, scoliosis, sciatica, sports
injuries, shoulder syndromes, and fatigue. Postural
abnormalities have been recognized as one of the
sources of pain syndromes and early arthritis.
Therefore, posture should be checked and
corrected as early as possible in both children and
adults, before more serious problems develop.
PostureScreen assessment identifies
postural abnormalities, as in the
scans pictured above. We follow up
with a thorough clinical evaluation to
determine the appropriate postural
corrective techniques to prevent or
alleviate the pain and many health
problems caused by postural
misalignment.
Screenings are FREE to businesses and groups.
