Self Examination

Common signs of Subluxations:

              

Your heels wear out unevenly. Can be due to uneven leg length or stress along the length of the spine.

You can't take a satisfying deep breath. Breath, health, spinal health and energy are interrelated.

Your jaw "clicks". Can be caused by neck or hip subluxations.

You have to "crack" your neck, back, or other joints a lot. Can be caused by areas of your spine that are locked or jammed.

You can't twist turn your head or hips to either side easily and equally. Reduced range of motion.

You are often fatigued. An unbalanced spine drains your energy. 1,2

You have poor concentration. Subluxations affect brain health.

You have low resistance to disease. Subluxations affect your neuroendocrine system which plays an important role in your resistance to disease and your ability to fight infection.

Your foot flares out when walking. This test is easy as long as you don't cheat. Merely look at your feet as you walk. Do they both point forward, or does one foot appear to flare outward or inward? Do both? Foot flare may be a sign of a problem in the lower spine or hips, or meningeal stress in the upper neck or base of the brain. 3

You have poor posture. Stand on two bathroom scales. The weight distribution should be about the same over each foot. If it is not, that's a good sign that your spine, hips or head are off centre.

You have headaches, back aches, sore or tender spots in muscles or joints. Common signs of subluxation.

You have a constant stressful feeling and tension especially in muscles and joints. Muscles are affected by subluxations.

You feel stiffness in your back and neck. Stiffness may be a sign of subluxation damage.

You just don't feel right, you are in general poor health. Subluxations can affect your overall health.

If you have any of the signs please call to arrange your initial Chiropractic appointment (30 minutes) or a Free Power Health Workshop. Subluxations left uncorrected will progressively get worse.

YOUR SPINE

Your spinal column is one of the most amazing structures in the human body. Each part of the spine serves a specific purpose in maintaining the bodies overall function.

The cervical spine (neck) is composed of 7 vertebrae (spinal bone) and has a gentle forward curvature, the nerves from here control the upper part of the body. Click here to see specifics.

The thoracic spine (mid-back) is composed of 12 vertebrae and has a slightly backward curve, whose nerves control the bodies mid section or torso. Click here to see specifics.

Your lumbar spine (low back) is composed of 5 vertebrae with a gentle forward curvature. The nerves here control the legs and feet or lower extremity. Click here to see specifics.
