Good posture and spinal health are vital to a person’s total wellness. Yet not many people visit a chiropractor for a spinal or postural screening. Seeing a chiropractor for these screenings can help check your posture and provide a plan for any posture correction therapies, such as a chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractors at Riverside Chiropractic in Alexandria, VA, offer spinal and postural screening to help with holistic health care.
What Are Postural Spinal Screenings?
Spinal postural screenings are quick and painless screenings conducted by a trained chiropractor to evaluate your body’s neuromusculoskeletal system for any problems caused by a spine condition or poor posture. For example, suppose you suffer from backaches, headaches, or stiffness in the back or neck. In that case, seeing a chiropractor for a postural screening may be the start of diagnosing the root cause of your discomfort.
What Are the Benefits of a Spinal Postural Screening?
Seeing a chiropractor provides patients with many benefits, and chiropractic care treatments, such as spinal adjustment, can help alleviate the stress on the spinal column. In addition, postural and spine screening can help identify potential problems along the spinal column and help patients start posture correction as soon as possible. Plus, the spine and postural screening can help the chiropractor provide lifestyle advice to improve posture at home, work, and play.
What to Expect with Our Chiropractor
During a routine appointment with a chiropractor for a spinal postural screening, the doctor will evaluate your spinal joints, muscles, and connective tissues, looking for issues, such as curvature and anything that could negatively impact your posture. Sometimes, the chiropractor will order X-rays, CT scans, or an MRI to get a better look or angle at your spine.
Do I Need Spinal Alignment?
After a postural screening, a chiropractor may recommend the patient undergo various chiropractic care treatment options, including a spinal adjustment. A chiropractic adjustment can help realign the spine and help with long-term improved posture.
