Postural & Spinal Assessments

Postural & Spinal Assessments

Uncovering the Hidden Causes Behind Pain, Stiffness, and Fatigue

At Living Chiropractic, we take posture seriously—because how you hold your body directly impacts how you feel, move, and function each day. Our postural and spinal assessments are designed to detect subtle imbalances and misalignments that can contribute to pain, limited mobility, muscle fatigue, and even nerve interference.

These assessments allow our chiropractors to evaluate how your body moves, holds itself upright, and compensates for weakness or dysfunction. Whether it’s a tilted pelvis, uneven shoulders, a forward head posture, or spinal rotation, we pinpoint the imbalances that may be contributing to:

  • Chronic back or neck pain

  • Tension headaches or migraines

  • Poor flexibility or mobility

  • Shoulder or hip imbalance

  • Fatigue, low energy, or poor concentration

  • Repetitive injuries or uneven wear on joints

We combine hands-on palpation, visual posture checks, range-of-motion testing, and (when needed) on-site X-rays to develop a clear picture of your spinal health. From here, we create a tailored plan to improve alignment, restore nerve communication, and get you moving better—often before pain even starts.

✳️ Note: Our on-site X-rays are bulk billed under Medicare, making diagnosis more accessible and affordable.

The Posture Crisis in Kids: Growing Concerns

In recent years, concerns have been raised about the long-term effects of poor posture in children. One widely shared article sparked discussion by reporting that children are developing horn-like bony growths at the base of their skulls—thought to be linked to extended time spent hunched over screens. While the research remains debated, the message is clear: poor posture in growing bodies can lead to lasting spinal changes and health challenges later in life.

That’s why we also offer postural screenings for children and teens, helping parents catch concerns early and support healthy spinal development.
