Is Your Spine Aligned Correctly?

Is your spine aligned correctly?  Misalignment of the spine can cause many symptoms that most people are not aware are related to a misaligned spine. Having your spine and nervous system checked out will ensure that there is proper communication throughout your body.

Here are 15 warning signs of an unhealthy spine.

Your Heels Wear Out Unevenly: This can be due to stress along the spine or uneven leg length.

Taking a Satisfying Deep Breath is Difficult: Restricted breathing can happen from subluxations in the upper back and ribs.

Clicking of the Jaw: This can occur from tension and misalignment of the neck.

You Have to “Crack” Your Body Often: This is your reaction to your body telling you that something is misaligned.

Your Head and Hips Don’t Twist or Turn Easily or Equally: Misalignment in the spine can reduce range of motion.

Constantly Tired: An unbalanced spine can reduce your daily energy.

Lacking Concentration: Your brain and body connection can be interrupted when your spine is out of alignment.

You Have Low Resistance to Disease: Chiropractic adjustments can significantly help reduce nerve pressure which has been shown to increase your white blood cells. Interleukin-2(IL-2) levels are increased after adjustments which are the cells that are used to kill viral and bacterial infections.

Your Feet Flare Out: Notice which direction your feet point as you are walking, in, out, or forward (don’t cheat). If one or both of your feet flare outwards, this is a sign of issues may be occurring in the lower spine or hips.

One Leg is Shorter Than the Other: With your shoes on, lie down, and have someone stand behind you and look down at your feet. If one leg is shorter than the other, your hips and spine may be out of alignment.

Poor Posture: You may be able to tell when you physically have bad posture. Another way to test your posture is to stand on two scales and notice the weight distribution of each side of your body. If the weight is not distributed equally then your spine, hips, or head may be off center.

Frequent Headaches, Back Aches, or Sore Spots in Muscles and Joints: These are all common symptoms of a misaligned spine.

Constant Stressful Feeling and Tension in the Muscles and Joints: Nerve irritation from a misaligned spine can cause your body to feel stressed and tense.

Stiffness in Your Back or Neck: Stiffness can be a result of degenerative changes in your spine.

Something is Just Not Right: If you are feeling like you have overall poor health this could mean that your nervous system is out of balance, which in the end means that your health is not in balance.
