If you are reading this, you are probably looking for answers as to why you are in pain. Aside from the obvious acute or traumatic injury, musculoskeletal pain develops over time as a result of muscular imbalances, lack of joint motion and repetitive stress.
The one governing rule in biomechanics, and all of science for that matter, is that structure is always related to function. The picture on the right shows the proper alignment of the major load bearing joints. The ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders are level and line up to form the optimum posture. This posture is self healing and recovers much faster than one that is out of alignment. Personal or work related stress and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to muscle atrophy and an altered posture. For example, an unbalanced pelvis can lead to an internal or external knee rotation that further results in one foot pointing in or out. In the same manner it can also cause one shoulder to be higher than the other. Over time this altered posture results in a cascade of dysfunctional changes, a decrease in range of motion and pain.
Body aches and pains are merely symptoms of an underlying structural problem. Correct the structure and you will correct the dysfunction. Chiropractic adjustments will help restore joint motion and alignment and specific postural strengthening exercises will help build the specific muscles necessary to maintain proper alignment. If you are interested in finding out more, call the office and schedule an appointment.
