What are Spinal & Postural Screenings?
Spinal & Postural screenings are essentially what it sounds like. It is a simple and painless process where a trained chiropractor evaluates your body for neuromusculoskeletal imbalances based on your spine’s condition and posture. These screenings assess the structure and function of your spine and extremities and can even help uncover the issue behind those regular headaches you’ve been having or a sudden stiffness in your neck, shoulder, back, foot or ankle.
What Are the Benefits of a Spinal Postural Screening?
There are multiple benefits to undergoing a spinal postural screening, but the most important is that it ensures that you’re getting the right treatment plan for your needs.
It also allows Our Team to check for potential problems with your spine and posture that could potentially lead to back and neck problems later in life. From there, a thorough treatment plan is created to help address any current pain issues, range of motion problems, or potential mobility issues based on your current health status.
What to Expect During Spinal & Postural Screening
During this appointment, Our Team will use several diagnostic tools to evaluate your spinal posture, extremities and the muscles and tissue surrounding them. Specifically, he or she will look for issues such as abnormal curvature, poor balance or function and other factors that could potentially affect your overall posture. In some cases, x-rays or other imaging might be used to provide a different angle or better look at your spine. Then you’ll receive recommendations which may include, chiropractic adjustments, Footlevelers orthotics and
guidance on which exercises you should be doing at home.
