Your Posture Tells a Story About Your Spine
Posture is about more than simply standing up straight. The way your head, shoulders, spine, and pelvis align can provide valuable information about your body's structure and how you move.
Changes in posture may be associated with increased strain on muscles and joints, restricted movement, and difficulties with everyday activities. Whether you're experiencing neck or back discomfort, looking to improve your athletic performance, or simply wanting to understand your spinal health better, assessing your posture can be an important first step.
Look Beyond the Symptoms
At Aligned Chiropractic, we believe it's important to look beyond where you feel discomfort and assess how your body is functioning as a whole.
Our comprehensive assessments help us evaluate your spinal alignment, posture, and movement patterns. By identifying areas that may benefit from attention, we can develop an individualized care plan that may include specific chiropractic treatments and targeted exercises you can perform at home.
Understand Your Structure. Improve Your Function.
Our goal is to help you better understand your body, address the issues identified during your assessment, and work toward improved movement and function in your everyday life.
Your posture is a starting point. A thorough assessment helps us determine what it means for you.
A Detailed Look at Your Spinal Structure and Function
At Aligned Chiropractic, we use a combination of assessment methods to develop a better understanding of your spinal structure and function.
Depending on your individual needs, your assessment may include:
- Structural photographs: Documenting posture and alignment from multiple views to help visualize structural patterns.
- Surface electromyography (sEMG): Evaluating patterns of muscle activity along the spine.
- Thermal scanning: Assessing patterns of skin-surface temperature along the spine.
- Functional movement assessment: Evaluating movement patterns, mobility, and physical function.
- x-ray investigation. To determine and structural change/damage to spinal structures.
Together with your health history and physical examination, these findings help us develop an individualized approach to your care.
Our aim is to help you understand what we find, why it may be relevant to your goals, and what options may be appropriate for addressing your concerns.
Understanding Your Results and Your Plan for Care
Following your initial assessment, your chiropractor will review your findings with you at a second visit. This appointment is an opportunity to better understand your spinal structure, discuss any areas that may benefit from attention, and explore how these findings relate to your individual concerns and goals.
You'll receive a detailed report outlining the assessment findings, recommendations for care, and specific exercises tailored to your needs. Where appropriate, we may also discuss lifestyle modifications and practical strategies to support your progress at home and in your everyday activities.
A Plan Designed Around You
At Aligned Chiropractic, we believe you should understand what we're assessing, what we've found, and why we recommend a particular approach.
Your care plan will be developed around your individual findings, needs, and goals, with the aim of improving function and helping you make informed decisions about your spinal health.
Our goal is to give you a clearer understanding of your body and a practical plan to help you move forward.
