What Causes Spinal Vertebrae to Become Misaligned?

There are many causes of spinal misalignment, let’s check out 2:

Trauma

During our lives most of us have many falls, accidents, and/or sports injuries. Even child birth can be traumatic. When this happens around the spine, tissues that hold your spine in place can be torn. The vertebra may be misplaced do to the now unsecure joint and, upon tearing, your body will start to heal the tissue. But there could be a shift around the 2 spinal segments. As it continues to heal the area, what is left is a misplaced segment that is now secured with tissue.

Bad Posture

Many of us have work or hobbies that result in bad posture. An example would be sitting at a computer with your torso forward and your head tilted forward. This eventually causes the muscle in your body to weaken and/or tighten in multiple areas. Over a period of time, the ligaments, muscles and, joints of your spine start to respond. On an x ray you may see these areas have calcified bone, altered spinal mechanics, degeneration of disc.
