 Posture Correction                                                                                     

Posture is the window to the spine.  If your posture is not in balance than your spine is out of balance.  Posture imbalances can be identified as uneven shoulder height, uneven hips, shoulders that roll forward, sway back, flatten feet, these are all indicators that unhealthy pressure and strain is being placed upon your nervous system, which is known as a subluxation.  Normal daily activities such as sleeping, standing, walking abnormality, computer work, playing video games and more obviously traumas such as car or recreational injuries, or giving birth can cause these postural imbalances.  In order to have optimal health and posture your spine has to be in the best possible condition.  Ross Chiropractic specializes in helping each individual attain an optimal level of health and posture. 

Chiropractic care is especially needed during pregnancy because of the many physical and chemical changes the woman's body is going through.  Not only is the center of gravity changing because of the added physical weight she is carrying, but the spinal structure becomes more flexible due to hormonal changes which relax the ligaments in the pelvis, preparing the body for stretching during childbirth.  In an already unstable spine, that could cause or aggravate spinal problems.  Many pregnant women are prone to low back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and many other changes.  Chiropractic care during pregnancy can provide a natural form of health care without the use the use drugs.  Dr. Allison Ross uses a very gentle approach which greatly helps reduce common spinal problems that women go through during pregnancy, so that women can enjoy their pregnancy to the fullest. 

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
