When brain health and healing messages CAN flow to all parts of the body without interference you may expect good health. When brain health and healing messages CANNOT flow to all parts of the body due to interference at the point where the head/neck join, you may expect health problems to develop.

When head / neck misalignment is corrected and body balance is restored so brain messages can get through to the affected ares, immediately muscles begin to relax, blood and oxygen circulation is increased and the natural self healing process begins. A balanced body will maintain health at it's optimum level.

If there is spinal decompression, body balance (postural distortion), can be determined in a number of ways:

• head tilt
• restricted neck movement
• low shoulder
• abnormal spinal curvature
• high hip
• bilateral body weight difference
• one leg shorter than the other
• nerve heat graph

When the weight of the head (10-14 pounds), is shifted off the center of the top of the neck, the body becomes imbalanced.

In an effort to keep the head over the center of the neck, the spine and pelvis will twist, causing one leg to shorten. (body imbalance.

Body imbalance can cause headaches, and pain in the neck, shoulder, back, hips, legs, knees or feet / ankles.

Muscle or joint pain anywhere in the body is an indication of body and spinal imbalance.

Precision x-rays enable Dr. Dickinson to develop an exact formula which he uses to make the spinal correction.

Each spinal correction formula is as individual to the patient as fingerprints.
