Spinal Posture

Part of our new patient examination includes a posture check. Many health problems can begin by having spinal imbalances. The posture machine has two scales built into it. The patient stands onto the machine with each foot place onto each scale.

This will then measure how much body weight you are carrying on the left scale and the right scale. Some patients have at least 20 pounds of more weight distributed on one side compared to the other. This can show how imbalanced your posture is, thus creating stress to the rest of the body.
