Faulty Mechanics of Your Spine

This means that the precise curves and alignment of your spine are altered in some way. The exact placement of your spine is known. You should have 65 degree in your low back curve. Your neck should be 35 degrees. Lastly your pelvis should be level & spine straight up & down. These curves and angles are very precise. Measurements are taken standing in your normal posture with a digital x-Ray.
