Have you ever wondered why chiropractors constantly harp on your posture and your movement? I want you to try a simple test for me. Turn your head all the way to the right and then turn it all the way to the left. And I want you to make note of what you noticed. Was one side tighter? Did one side move differently? Did you have pain either direction? And then you can do a very similar thing for your low back. But that's the kind of important thing that we're going to really focus on as chiropractors. Hey, I'm Dr. Cameron with Radiant Chiropractic and part of what we're saying what's going on with your pain and your body is actually looking at how well you move. So, we're going to look at your range of motion with your neck and your back, your posture from the front and side, how you're carrying stress and tension, also we can get a better understanding of what's going on. And not one of those things tells us everything by itself. So, think of the exam as putting together all the puzzle pieces. What you're feeling is one piece, how you're moving is another, your posture gives us another, and the rest of the exam helps us put all of these pieces together to better understand what's actually happening. Because the last thing we want to do is guess with what's going on with the body. So, we want to take a closer look and understand exactly what we're seeing and most importantly explain it in a way that actually makes sense to you. So, if that is interesting to you, if you think that could be beneficial to you, go ahead and check out the website to get to know us a little bit more. And when you feel called to it, go ahead and book an appointment with us and we'll get you checked out.
