The body's balance and symmetry are key to its stability. The pelvis and hips shape lower body movement, and a misaligned hip can cause lower back and hip pain, muscular imbalance, and a reduced...
The spine's design is based on movement and function, and its natural curves and neutral alignment are key to its strength and flexibility. Each spinal section has a characteristic curve type that...
As a structural spinal condition that causes an unhealthy lateral spinal curve to develop, no changes to diet alone can improve the scoliosis itself, but a healthy diet and lifestyle can make the...
Our understanding of scoliosis treatment has evolved over the years, and back brace design has kept pace with advanced ultra-corrective designs. When combined with the potential of a...
The cervical spine refers to the neck, and as the first spinal section, it connects the brain to the rest of the spine and body. It's important for the cervical spine to have its healthy curve in...
In order for a spinal section to function optimally, its vertebrae need to be aligned in a straight and neutral position. Spinal misalignment can cause pain, postural changes, mobility issues, and...
Back pain is the leading disability around the world and can disrupt mobility and quality of life. Leading a spine-friendly lifestyle can preserve spinal health and function, and regular exercise and...
Scoliosis weakens the spine due to its uneven forces causing misalignment. Scoliosis can also impact the spine's surrounding muscles, so weak and/or unbalanced muscles can be a factor when exercising...
The spine's facet joints connect vertebral bodies and facilitate smooth gliding motion for healthy pain-free movement, and a diagnosis of facet joint arthropathy means arthritis and inflammation are...
The spine's health and function is shaped by its healthy curves and alignment. If the spine shifts out of alignment, its balance, stability, and function can be disrupted, and disruptions to spinal...
The health of the cervical spine is important. The neck has to support the weight of the head, facilitate a wide range of motion, and acts as the bridge between the brain, the spine, and the rest of...
