Conditions We Evaluate
We evaluate measurable structural factors that may contribute to a condition, alongside the symptoms themselves. Whether a finding matters in your case is a question for examination, not assumption.
Structural conditions
Findings We Measure Directly
These are measured structural findings, described in degrees and millimeters against reference values. In our terms, each is a Primary Condition: the measurable finding itself. They are the kind of barrier we explain under what we mean by obstructions. A finding is relevant only when it fits your history and examination.
Spondylolisthesis
When a vertebra slips forward, stability becomes the clinical question. We measure the slip, with stress views when clinically indicated, and monitor it over time.
Scoliosis
A sideways curvature of the spine. We measure the curve objectively (the Cobb angle) and monitor change, including an honest account of what care cannot control.
Short Leg Syndrome
A leg-length difference may contribute to pelvic imbalance. We measure it objectively and explain what the finding means for you.
Loss of Lordosis
Reduced spinal curves change how load is distributed. We measure the curve and explain what that finding may mean for you.
Anterior Head Syndrome
When the head sits forward of the shoulders, the neck carries its weight less efficiently. We measure how far forward it sits and read that finding with your history.
Hyperkyphosis
A rounded mid-back has several possible causes, and they are not managed alike. We measure the curve and check whether it is flexible or fixed.
Symptoms and other conditions we evaluate
Symptoms and Conditions We Evaluate for a Structural Contributor
Pain, headaches, numbness and injuries have several possible sources. In our terms these are Secondary Conditions: symptoms that may follow from a Primary Condition in some cases, and that always need individual assessment. We evaluate whether a structural factor is contributing in your case, and refer when another kind of care is the better path. How Primary and Secondary Conditions relate.
Migraines & Headaches
Migraine, cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are different problems with different answers. We establish which pattern you have before assuming the neck is involved.
Degenerative Discs
Degenerative change is common with age and often present without symptoms. Uneven loading is one contributing factor we can measure.
Whiplash
Symptoms after a collision can develop gradually. We assess what changed structurally and whether it is contributing to how you feel now.
Sciatica & Leg Pain
Radiating leg pain has several possible sources. We work out which pattern is present rather than assuming a disc or nerve root is responsible.
Neuropathy
Numbness and tingling have many causes, including metabolic ones. We evaluate whether a structural contribution is plausible, and refer when it is not.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing around the nerves is usually age-related and is not reversed by conservative care. We are direct about what can and cannot change.
Neck Pain
Tech neck and a reduced cervical curve are commonly associated with chronic strain. We measure the curve and, where it is relevant to your symptoms, build care around improving it toward normal values.
Low Back Pain
The leading cause of disability worldwide. We assess whether mechanical and structural factors are contributing to yours.
Herniated Disc
Many herniated discs improve over time. We measure the structural factors that may be contributing and tell you honestly whether care is appropriate.
Bulging Disc
One of the most common findings on spinal imaging, and one that is frequently present without symptoms. The question is whether it explains yours.
TMJ & Jaw Pain
Jaw pain can have a cervical component. We evaluate whether the neck is contributing rather than assuming that it is.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can come from the shoulder itself, the neck, the surrounding soft tissues, or be referred from elsewhere. A thorough examination helps determine which structures are most relevant.
Knee Pain
Knee symptoms may arise from the joint and its surrounding tissues, from loading and movement patterns, or from referred sources. Assessment establishes which applies before anything is treated.
Tension Headaches
Tension-type headache is a primary headache disorder, not automatically a neck problem. We establish how much of your pattern is genuinely cervical.
Pinched Nerve
Nerve-root irritation has several possible sources. We examine to establish whether a nerve is genuinely involved before recommending anything.
