Proper posture and spinal alignment play crucial roles in maintaining overall health, yet many people unknowingly suffer from poor posture or hidden spinal issues. At Team Chiropractic, the initial consultation includes two essential tools: posture assessments and in-office X-rays. Together, these provide a comprehensive picture of your spinal health, setting the stage for effective, personalized care.

The Importance of Posture Assessments

Your posture is more than just how you stand or sit—it’s a window into your spinal health and how well your body can function. Poor posture can lead to misalignments, or subluxations, that may disrupt your nervous system, causing pain, stiffness, and even chronic health issues.

During a posture assessment, the chiropractor evaluates:

• Alignment: Checking if your shoulders, hips, and head are balanced.
• Curvature: Identifying exaggerated spinal curves or flattening that may indicate strain.
• Postural Habits: Observing how you sit, stand, and walk to pinpoint areas of tension or imbalance.

This process often involves visual observation, hands-on evaluation, and sometimes digital tools to analyze posture patterns.
