The presence of good posture is a missing trait among the growing populous today. Often beginning at a very young age, we can blame technology, the newest gizmos or maybe just a lack of knowledge. True to form with our society, anything that is often hard to do or misunderstood is saturated with quick fixes, gadgets, or misleading objects that are for sale to “fix your posture.” Instead of looking for the outward source, why not pay attention to what’s inside?

What Is The Importance Of Structure In Coeur d'Alene ID?

Structure. The spinal column at an early age forms its outlook for life beginning with our “tummy time” and then into our crawling stages. At this point, the three distinct curvatures of the spine (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar) begin to take shape, enabling our body to be able to withstand the constant battle of gravity with biomechanical sound curvatures. The rest of the body takes shape as a result of the spinal column and its form. Typically, when you encounter a daily event, activity, or engage in repetitive behavior over and over again, the spinal column is unable to properly adapt and overcome a spinal subluxation (misalignment within the spinal column creating nerve interference.) This ensues over time, and this subluxation will create chaos in the musculoskeletal system, creating an overproduction of muscle imbalances for years.

Furthermore, the subluxation will create inadequacies in proper muscle firing, thus leading to a constant battle with improper posture. As time moves on and a subluxation is left uncorrected, the structure of the spine begins to change. This is something you can see called improper posture. The structure of the spinal column is hidden from plain sight, yet will appear in the posture that we exhibit in our daily lives. Maintaining good posture is important. We must address the main problem by focusing on your spinal column which protects the most important system in the human body--the central nerve system (CNS). With proper coordination to the CNS, the musculoskeletal system—which is often left to blame for “bad posture,” begins to work effortlessly and with normal tone to make sure your “butt is out, back is straight, and chin is out” all the time. It all starts with a healthy spine!
