You May Also Check Your Own Spinal Imbalances by Looking at Your Posture

Stand in front of a mirror

1. Look at your head
   • Is it tilted to one side or the other?
2. Look at your shoulders
   • Is one higher than the other?
3. Is your body leaning to one side?
   • You can see this as more space between the body and the arm to the side the body in leaning toward
4. Place your hands on the top of your hip bones.
   • Is one higher than the other?
5. Do you feel more weight on one leg than the other?
6. When you walk, is there a limp or do you favor one side?
7. Are your shoes worn down on one foot more than the other?

Also ask yourself the following questions. Saying “yes” to any of them may be an indication that your spine is out of alignment.

1. Have you ever had an accident or trauma? (auto accident, a fall, slip, trip, etc.)
2. Do you “crack” your neck, back or other joints a lot, or does your jaw “click”?
3. Is there limited motion when turning your head from side to side?
4. Do you get headaches?
5. Do you feel stiffness in your back and/or neck?
6. Do you have difficulty taking a deep breath?
7. Are you fatigued often?
8. Is your concentration poor?
9. Do you get sick often?
10. Do you have poor posture?
