Did you know a misalignment in your neck can cause a “short leg”? 🤯
It sounds surprising, but your spine functions as a complete kinetic chain. When the top bone in your neck—the Atlas—shifts out of its proper alignment (subluxation), your body automatically tries to keep your eyes level with the horizon.
To compensate for that tilted foundation at the top, the muscles along your spine contract, causing:
• 🔹 A hike in your pelvis (unbalanced hips)
• 🔹 A functional “short leg” on one side
• 🔹 Muscle spasms and lower back strain as your body fights gravity

✨Think of your body like a high-speed fiber-optic network. Your brain is the computer, your nerves are the cables, and your spine is the protective casing for the main trunk line.

✨When your spine isn’t moving correctly—due to stress, posture, or injury—it’s like a "kink" in the cable. In clinical terms, we call these restricted areas subluxations. Statistics show that nearly 80% of adults will experience back pain at some point, often because these mechanical issues interfere with how the brain and body talk to each other. A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, quick movement applied to a joint that isn't moving right. Chiropractic doesn't just "fix a back"; it removes interference.

✨When your spine is aligned and moving, your nervous system can coordinate everything from your heartbeat to your muscle movements without "static" on the line. We use biomechanics to improve neurology. By fixing the "hardware" (your spine), we optimize the "software" (your brain and nerves).

Why I look at your hips when your neck hurts.

Think of your spine like a house. If the foundation (your pelvis) sinks or tips on one side, the whole structure above it has to shift to stay standing.

Your neck often twists or tilts just to keep your head level and your eyes on the horizon. Treating only the neck is like fixing the cracks in the attic drywall while ignoring the shifting foundation.

At Past Tense Chiropractic, I check the whole structure to find the root cause, not just the symptom.
