A proper Cervical Curve enhances; appropriate input into the Brain, proper range of motion, health of the discs, ligaments and muscles of the neck, nerve flow to the entire body including the shoulders and arms.

An abnormal Cervical Curve changes input into the Brain, decreases range of motion, puts stress on discs, ligaments and muscles and can disrupt nerve flow the the shoulders, arms and hands.  

Head is level.  Shoulders are level.  Spine is straight.

The green line is normal.  The red line is the Patient.

Head is tilted left.  Spine is listing right.  

The Atlas is the first vertebrae in the spine.  It has a platform on each side and is the base for the skull. It is in the shape of a ring and the spinal cord runs directly thru the middle of it. 

A tilted Atlas can put abnormal pressure on the nervous system causing a number of symptoms in the body. 

The Sacrum angle and the Lumbar curve, along with their vertical relationship should be within normal limits.

The green line is normal.  The red line is the patient.  Abnormal alignment and degeneration is noted.

Femur and hips should be level.  Spine should be straight from top to bottom.

The green line is normal.  The red line is the patient.

Unbalanced hips and a crooked spine can cause pain, degeneration and indicate abnormal Brain to Body connection.

You may notice when this person leans right, the spine stays basically straight.  This can be low back dysfunction or an abnormal Brain to body firing pattern. 

When the same person leans to the left, the spine bends and turns in a more normal pattern.

We want the spine to line up straight from top to bottom and the hips, shoulder and ears to be level.

Our Posture is a window into the function of our Nervous System.  By looking at you every visit and paying attention to your postural changes, we can get a good sense of how your Brain is working.

We want the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and head to line up vertically.  This view can reveal the Forward Head Posture of the patient.
