Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness Research Review: Compensation for standing posture by whole-body sagittal alignment in relation to health-related quality of life
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that the three grades of sagittal compensation in whole body alignment correlate with HRQOL scores. The compensation grades depend on the clinical diagnosis, whole body sagittal alignment, and lumbar spinal stenosis. The threshold values of key alignment parameters may be an indication for treatment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(10):1359-1367.

In our lives we have physical stress on our body some are acute such as ( falls, traumas, or accidents) and some are chronic such as ( sitting for long periods, working at a desk for long periods, using computers or phones for long periods, standing for long periods, doing a repetitive motion for long periods, bad positions a work for long periods, ect..). These physical stresses cause us to lose the normal alignment and put the spine in abnormal alignment and now the spine is in a weakened position. This causes abnormal loading of the spinal structures and this puts abnormal stress on different parts of the spine breaking down the spinal structures leading to pain dysfunction over time.
“Gravitational loading of non ideal spinal configuration will cause the body to adapt to best stabilize its current situation. Spinal soft tissues supportive structures of discs, muscle, ligaments, fascia will contract, tighten, harden, and change physiologically to prevent the further collapse of the spinal structure. The abnormal spinal structure position will cause restriction in motion due to improper spinal biomechanical coupling patterns, asymmetrical loading, and spinal rigidity as a result of resistant gravitational injured soft tissue adaptations.” -Dr. Berry & Dr.Alfonso
Unfortunately, traditional medical spinal pain treatment plans typically consist of medications to cover up or mask
the symptoms with powerful painkillers, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, steroid injections, and/or surgery.
At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness spinal corrective treatments are determined from a one on one consultation, physical examination including orthopedic and neurological testing, medical health history, digital posture analysis, specialized weight bearing x-rays and measurements, and if needed advanced diagnostics, such as MRIs, CTs, or Digital Motion.
Sunset Chiropractic and Wellness’s Structural Correction Chiropractic Care rehabilitates the damaged spine and its damaged structures (muscles, ligaments, fascia, discs, bone, and nerves) improving the structure, function,
while reducing and/or eliminating the pain, and improving overall quality of life.
