Did you ever wonder why people get such varying results with chiropractic care? It’s because chiropractors never really understood how the bones in the spine really moved so they couldn’t predictably and effectively get consistent results. What was finally figured out is that bones can go out of place in a direction the body cannot self-correct or self-realign. This is because no muscle exists to pull in the direction needed to bring the bone back into its proper position. A technique was invented to address this problem and now spinal misalignments can be corrected. You can even observe this to be true by looking at these pictures.

What is seen in these "before" pictures are patients prior to their first treatment. The only instruction is that the patient is to "breathe in, breathe out and let their body slump." The same instructions were given to the patient to "breathe in, breathe out and let their body slump." Notice that they can’t slump. This is because now the bones are brought back into their proper position.

Slumped posture, as demonstrated above, is due to bones of the spine being stuck forward. This causes all of the bones above it to go forward, also. Have you ever seen someone with bad posture who stood up straight? No! People with bad posture are slumped forward because they have no way to fix it themselves. They can hold their SHOULDERS back, and then can bend their spine backwards into extension; but they can’t straighten up their spine. That is why exercise and physical therapy can’t correct bad posture--it can only strengthen the muscles that you do have. It cannot pull bones backwards because there’s no muscle behind the spine to pull it back into place! As the chiropractor, even I have to get adjusted by another doctor because I can’t realign myself!

This treatment uses a gentle system of leverage to allow those bones to be pulled backwards, thereby allowing the posture to "pop up" into place. You can stand up straighter without even trying. This takes lots of tension and pulling off of the nerves that are attached to every single bone and allows the body to work more normally. Bothersome symptoms in the spine and even in the head, arms/hands and legs/feet are reduced and are less severe, if not gone, due to lessening nerve tension of bones out of place.
