Improvement in GERD Following Reduction of Vertebral Subluxations & Improved Sagittal Alignment Utilizing Chiropractic Biophysics Protocol

Abnormal posture or any type of spinal misalignment can wreak havoc on the body. Abnormal spinal alignment has been correlated with poor general health, physical function, emotional function, lower back pain and social function. The curves in the spine act as levers, shock absorbers, and as resistance to gravity; they also protect and reduce forces acting on the spinal cord and nerve tissues. Abnormal sagittal alignment has been shown to have a detrimental effect on health. Kado et al. reported that in the Rancho Bernardo study, with 1,578 participants of men and women over the age of 55 with hyperkyphotic postures, older persons with hyperkyphosis are more likely to have physical functional difficulties as well as an easily increased risk of injurious falls.
