What is a Structural Shift?

In healthcare, there are established normal values for many things. There’s a standard for normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol, and normal vision. It doesn’t mean that we expect everyone to have a PERFECT measure, but there’re healthy ranges for people depending on their age and situation.

At Foundation Chiropractic, we are looking for a significant three-dimensional shift of the spine away from normal. If the head and neck structurally shifts, it will cause the shoulders to twist, and the hips to shift forcing the entire spine out of alignment. These shifts will cause the muscles to spasm, the ligaments to deform, and disrupt the NERVES traveling down the spinal cord.

Problems we work with

The primary condition that we work with is called Anterior Head Syndrome.

Foundation Chiropractic has served people of all ages and many health conditions secondary to Anterior Head Syndrome. These include:
