Benefits of Full Spine Chiropractic Adjusting

Full spine adjusting is one of many chiropractic services you may see offered by chiropractors. Here’s what you should know:

You have 24 vertebrae which include 1 sacrum and 2 ilium (pelvis), that make up your spine. When one of these bones is misaligned, it compensates up and down your spine.

Example: If your left hip is higher than your right hip, your spine will start to move right. It needs to quickly move back left in order for the spine to stay level and for you to continue standing. Without this adjustment, gravity will pull your torso and cause you to fall to your right side. This high hip causes a cascade of compensation up your spine which will result in a curved spine.

The normal curvature of the spine is under 10 degrees. Some people have 5-6 degrees of curvature and others have 40. When correcting those with an irregular spinal curvature, all the vertebra, ligaments (mainly 4) that hold your spine together, along with the muscle that secures and moves your torso, need to be taken into account.
