Spinal and Postural Screenings at Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation

Is your spine maintaining a healthy alignment? Is your posture as straight and comfortable as it should be? These issues can play major roles in your health and wellness, no matter what your age, occupation, or condition. The only way to know the answers for certain is to schedule regular spinal and postural screenings. We're more than happy to provide these wellness examinations here at Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Chesapeake VA.

Why Regular Spinal Screenings Matter

Regular spinal screenings can tell us some critical things about your overall musculoskeletal condition -- and how that condition may be interfering with your health and comfort. Even a small spinal misalignment can send your overall posture off-balance. In the process, you become more vulnerable to injuries, chronic muscle strain, tendinitis, and pain in your weight-bearing joints. (The extra stress on your joints could even set the stage for premature arthritis.) Just as an off-kilter alignment can affect your posture, habitual poor posture due to weak muscles or no-ergonomic worm practices can affect your spinal alignment. But these changes can be so subtle and gradual that you might not notice them until you're already dealing with severe problems.

That's the great value of regular spinal screenings. By evaluating your spinal alignment in detail, our Chesapeake chiropractor, Dr. Santjer, can detect even the tiniest deviations from the norm long before they begin to bother you. This enables us to administer minor chiropractic adjustments to keep your alignment in good shape, instead of performing more extensive treatment to address agonizing pain and other debilitating symptoms later.

Wellness Benefits for the Whole Family

Our spinal and postural screenings can help every member of your family experience optimal health, year after year. Annual "back to school" screenings can help you ensure that your kids are ready for another year of heavy backpacks and school sports; they also allow us to alert you to the earliest signs of scoliosis. Working-aged adults can benefit from screenings to see whether their busy, demanding lifestyle has nudged their alignment out of balance. Seniors may find regular screenings extremely useful for helping them stay on top of age-related chronic pain and degenerative conditions. If we see an issue that needs correcting, we can start taking care of it right then and there.
