"Doc... my back is killing me, but I didn't do anything?"
Pain is the last of 4 stages of spine imbalance
Like most health conditions, imbalances in your spine are often present long before you feel symptoms. Being aware of these stages will enable you to see when your spine is out of balance and determine when you should do something about it.
Stage 1 Range of Motion Loss. Can you put your chin on your chest and your ear on your shoulder without strain? How about looking up and back as far as you can? You should feel an even resistance to the muscles that are being stretched.
Stage 2 Posture Imbalance.  Look in the mirror, is your nose lined up with your chest and belly button. Are your ears, shoulders and hips level? Have someone look at you from the side are your ears over your shoulder. Every inch forward adds 10-20lbs of pressure on your neck... ouch!
Stage 3 Muscle Bone and Ligament damage. With the stress of the above problems your body will attempt to compensate adding more stress to these tissues. Like walking around barefoot and getting calluses your spine will toughen up. Unfortunately, this means spinal degeneration, bone spurs and ligament remodeling that can take years to correct. The worst part is that at this point, you don't even feel it yet!
Stage 4 Pain! Most if not all conditions that reach this point could have been avoided or minimized with proper spinal hygiene and biomechanics. Like taking care of your teeth practicing good spinal hygiene needs to be a daily habit.
Twice daily full range of motion is absolutely essential for... nutritional intake and elimination of waste products in order to maintain healthy well-hydrated spinal discs, ligaments and tendons. (Bernini,1982)
"Bodybuilders and fitness people have been using, very extensively, chiropractors in order to stay healthy and fit. Whenever I had a little problem with my body, I always ran to one of my dear friends, he was always right there with the adjustments. This is how I found out the best way of going, is to use chiropractors, not only after injuries , but also before injury." Arnold Schwarzenegger
