Postural and spinal screenings are preventive tests that help Dr. Casey Phillips detect problems, which affect your nerves, muscles, and joints. Like other types of preventive evaluations, spinal and postural screenings detect problems in their early stages when most problems respond best to treatment.
The screening process can help Dr. Phillips discover posture and spinal alignment issues you never knew you had, long before they turn into chronic back pain, neck pain, or other injuries. Poor posture during adolescence is a major cause of early arthritis and chronic pain in adulthood, for example, and early screening can help detect posture problems in teens.
