Correcting Chronic Back Pain

Long Standing back pain starts with one of 3 problems:

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.

Improper Muscle Contraction

This means that the muscles that move & protect your spine are not automatically contracting. Typically the muscles involved are what as know as upper cross & lower cross. When these muscles lose there automatic contraction your spine pays the price.

Ligament Rigidity

You have very long ligaments that are adhered to your spine. They travel along the front, inside and back of your spine. It is what keeps your spine together and stable. When they are bent or stretched for long periods of time they are weakened and/or get rigid. There are 4 main ligaments.

By correcting each of the 3 problems your spine will function properly once again.
