Most individuals go about their lives without thinking about poor posture and spinal misalignment, not to mention the spinal health problems/conditions associated with misaligned vertebrae. Most spinal misalignments come on as a result of:
Sudden misalignments can be associated with a direct cause that an individual can recognize as increased symptoms and injury. The spinal misalignment can become dangerous if left untreated and out of alignment. This is when it is time to see a chiropractor for an immediate spinal realignment.
