What is Proper Posture?
by Dr. Scott J. Heun

When you look at a person's body from the side, the alignment should be as follows:

The ear should line up with the tip of the shoulder, which should in turn line up with the middle of the pelvis, and then the line should drop uninterrupted to just in front of that large bump on the side of your ankle (the lateral malleolus).

Over time, bad posture causes excessive strain and stress to the spinal tissues and vertebral bones. This in turn can lead to condition called subluxation, (misalignment of the spine). Subluxation can cause serious health problems if not corrected.

Subluxation can be treated with chiropractic care before longer term serious illness sets in.
