Spinal Model and Gravity ?
Gravity is the environmental constant the neuromuscular system must continue to adapt to statically and dynamically.
⦁ The optimal global and segmental shape of the human spinal structure is designed to resist this ongoing relentless downward force and distribute its body weight symmetrically around this vertical axis of gravity.
⦁ The optimal spinal configuration is straight in the AP view with the segmental and global centers of mass perpendicular to each other and gravity.
⦁ The sagittal dimension has arcs through cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis.
⦁ From a geometric perspective, the sagittal curves have arcs with radius equal to its chord length creating the most stable structure providing uniform load bearing strength, force distribution, and maximum leverage for spinal motion.
The vertebrae have unique facet shapes (C4C5, T6/T7, L3, L5/S1) at these origins of function units and bone mineral density dependent upon gravitational loading and functional demand. (C0/C1, (C4C5, T6/T7, L3, L5/S1 pivotal and stress muscle origin and insertions)
Throughout our lives, we have physical stress on our body, some being acute such as falls, traumas, accidents and others which can be chronic such as sitting for long periods, working at a desk for long periods, using computers or phones or even just standing for long periods.
These physical stresses may cause us to lose our normal spinal alignment placing the spine in a weakened position.
At first, this causes no pain but, as the spinal structures are continuously abnormally loaded, they begin to break down leading to spinal damage and eventually the development of pain symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, stiffness and functional loss such as the inability to perform normal daily activities without difficulty.
At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness nonsurgical drugless spinal and extremity treatments are selected and designed from a compressive consultation, health history, physical examination (orthopedic/neurological testing), digital posture analysis, weight bearing sitting x-rays using 41 measurements and 23 angles analyzing and comparing the spine to a mathematical model. In specific cases additional diagnostics could be ordered (Digital Motion X-rays/CTs/MRIs) to obtain or confirm a diagnosis.
Our team goes beyond conventional medicine by offering services and techniques which can relieve symptoms while at the same time addressing and resolving the underlying causes of your particular dysfunction.
Sunset Chiropractic and Wellness’s Structural Correction Chiropractic Care rehabilitate the damaged spine/extremities and its damaged structures (muscles, ligaments, fascia, discs, bone, and nerves) improving the structure and functions, reducing and removing the pain, and improving overall quality of life.
