WHAT IS A FOUNDATIONAL DISTORTION?

In many areas of healthcare, we know there is a normal range for optimal health.  Such examples include blood pressure, body temperature, and vision.  In the same way, there is an ideal normal for the structure and function of your spine and nervous system.

The doctors and Penney Family Chiropractic utilize a detailed, personalized, and specific analysis to determine the presence of Foundational Distortions in the spine.  This is frequently the underlying cause of numerous secondary conditions (symptoms) that you may be experiencing.  If a Foundational Distortion is detected, a personalized plan is created to correct these distortions so that you can not only feel, but also function at your best.  To further understand the effects of a Foundational Distortion it is best to consider the following.  If a house has a poor foundation, you may see cracks in the walls, windows that don’t open correctly, or floors that begin to creak.  One may choose to continuously address these individual issues (secondary conditions aka symptoms) by filling in the cracks on the walls, lubricating the windows, and hammering another nail in the floorboards.  In all likelihood, these secondary problems are likely to keep recurring until the underlying cause (the foundation) is corrected.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A FOUNDATIONAL DISTORTION?

There are several clear, objective sings of a Foundational Distortion.  If a patient chooses to proceed after a no-pressure Complimentary Consultation, they undergo a complete Foundational Chiropractic Examination, which includes:

• Neoro-motion Analysis
• Spinal Thermography (temperature)
• Weight Distribution Analysis
• Foundational X-rays (if needed)
• In-Depth Case History Review

An abnormal finding in any of these tests indicates the presence of a Foundational Distortion.
