5 warning signs you are out of alignment
As an Advanced Biostructural Correction chiropractor, I have conversations with patients every day that begin with phrases like, “Oh, that’s normal, right?” or “Everyone has that!” The truth is, there are many things we’ve been conditioned to believe are “normal” because they’re so common. But just because something is widespread doesn’t mean it’s healthy or that you should have to live with it.
Your body is designed to function at its best—without pain, discomfort, or limitations. Over time, we’ve come to accept dysfunctions as part of life, when in reality, many of these are signs that your body is struggling to adapt to misalignments and other imbalances. So, let’s talk about five things, as warning signs you are out of alignment- that people mistakenly think are normal but are actually common—and how Advanced Biostructural Correction can help you address them.
1. Waking Up Stiff or Achy
“Oh, it’s just part of getting older!” This is one of the most common misconceptions I hear from patients. While stiffness or aches might be common as people age, they’re not normal. Your body was built to move with ease, no matter your age.
Stiffness in the morning often signals that your body is misaligned. Misalignments force your muscles to work overtime while you sleep, leading to tension and discomfort by the time you wake up. With Advanced Biostructural Correction, we focus on identifying and correcting these underlying structural issues so your body can relax and recover properly during rest. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed and mobile instead of creaky and stiff—that’s the way it should be.
2. Poor Posture (Slouching or Forward Head Posture)
Look around, and you’ll see people everywhere hunched over their phones or laptops. Many think this posture is simply how modern life looks, but it’s a major red flag for your overall health. Poor posture isn’t normal—it’s your body’s response to structural imbalances and the effects of gravity pulling on a system that’s already compromised.
When your body isn’t properly aligned, your posture becomes a reflection of that imbalance. Slouching, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture aren’t just aesthetic issues; they can lead to chronic pain, restricted breathing, and even affect your mood and energy levels. ABC practitioners specialize in correcting the structural misalignments that cause poor posture, helping you stand taller, breathe deeper, and feel more confident.
3. Frequent Headaches
Headaches are so common that many people shrug them off as a normal part of life. “It’s just stress,” or “I probably need more coffee,” they say. But headaches are not normal. They’re a clear sign that something in your body isn’t functioning as it should.
Most headaches stem from tension and misalignment in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Structural issues in these areas can disrupt blood flow, irritate nerves, and create the conditions for that familiar throbbing or pressure. Through Advanced Biostructural Correction, we address the root causes of these structural issues, often leading to a significant reduction in headaches. Many patients are surprised at how quickly their headaches resolve once their body is aligned and functioning properly.
4. Feeling Tired All the Time
Fatigue has become so common in today’s fast-paced world that people rarely question it anymore. But constantly feeling tired is not normal. Your body is designed to give you energy and vitality, not leave you dragging through your day.
When your body is misaligned, it has to work harder to perform even basic functions like standing, sitting, or walking. This constant strain on your muscles and nervous system drains your energy reserves. Advanced Biostructural Correction helps restore proper alignment, allowing your body to function efficiently and conserve energy. Many of my patients report feeling a surge of energy after just a few adjustments.
5. Living with Chronic Pain
Perhaps the most widespread misconception is that chronic pain—whether it’s in your back, neck, shoulders, or knees—is just a normal part of life. People often resign themselves to pain, thinking it’s inevitable as they age or due to their lifestyle.
But pain is your body’s way of signaling that something is wrong. Chronic pain doesn’t just “happen”—it’s almost always the result of underlying structural issues that haven’t been addressed. Through Advanced Biostructural Correction, we go beyond masking the symptoms of pain to correct its root causes. As your body realigns, the strain on your muscles, joints, and nerves is relieved, allowing the pain to subside naturally.
How Advanced Biostructural Correction Can Help
At the core of ABC is the understanding that your body is designed to heal itself—but only when it’s in proper alignment. Misalignments create compensations that ripple through your entire body, leading to pain, fatigue, and other issues that we’ve mistakenly accepted as “normal.”
Through Advanced Biostructural Correction, we address the structural problems at their source, allowing your body to work the way it was meant to. The results go beyond pain relief; they include better posture, improved energy, deeper breathing, and a higher quality of life overall.
You don’t have to settle for what’s common. Morning stiffness, poor posture, headaches, fatigue, and chronic pain are signs that your body needs support—not things you should have to live with.
If you’ve been struggling with any of these issues, I encourage you to take the first step toward feeling better. Advanced Biostructural Correction offers a comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of your discomfort and helping your body function at its best.
Remember: common does not mean normal. Your body deserves more than just “getting by.” It deserves to thrive.
