Understanding Abnormal Biomechanics

The spine is a complex mechanical system designed to distribute weight and facilitate movement. Abnormal biomechanics occur when certain segments of the spine become restricted or misaligned, forcing other areas of the body to overcompensate. Over time, this mechanical breakdown leads to increased stress on the joints, accelerated disc wear, and chronic muscle strain.

 

These dysfunctions are often the result of repetitive micro-trauma from poor ergonomics, past physical injuries, or postural habits that have caused the body to move away from normal. When the spine moves incorrectly, it creates a domino effect of tension and instability throughout the musculoskeletal system.

 

Our approach focuses on identifying these mechanical faults and restoring the body’s natural efficiency through integrated care:

To improve joint kinematics, we utilize different types of spinal adjustments to restore motion to restricted areas.

 

Because the muscles often hold onto dysfunctional patterns, we incorporate manual therapy to release chronic tension and soft tissue restrictions. Finally, we implement specific rehab exercises to stretch and strengthen the stabilizing muscles, ensuring your body has the structural support to maintain its corrected alignment and move fluidly during daily activities.

 

By addressing the root mechanical causes of your discomfort, we help transition your body from a state of compensation to one of optimal performance.
