How We Measure Results
We don't ask you to take our word for it. We show you the measurements. Structural correction is designed to produce change you can see documented rather than described.
We Measure. We Correct. We Reassess.
Every patient receives an objective baseline. Where imaging is clinically indicated that includes structural X-rays; where it is not, posture and functional measurement provide the baseline instead. At key milestones we reassess against that baseline, so both doctor and patient can see what has actually changed rather than assume it.
Cervical Lordosis & Head Position
We measure the cervical curve angle and anterior head carriage on lateral X-ray. Through cervical traction and specific adjustments, we work to restore the cervical curve and bring the head back over the shoulders.
What We Track:
Cervical curve angle (degrees)
Anterior head translation (mm)
Spondylolisthesis Monitoring
For patients with spondylolisthesis, we measure vertebral slippage on stress films. Through targeted correction and stabilization protocols, we monitor slippage and work toward structural improvement.
What We Track:
Vertebral translation (mm)
Slip grade on stress films
Scoliosis Assessment
For patients with scoliosis, we measure the Cobb angle on AP X-ray. Through mirror-image adjustments and corrective exercises, we work to reduce the curvature and improve spinal balance.
What We Track:
Cobb angle (degrees)
Spinal balance and symmetry
Disc Height & Alignment
For patients with disc concerns, we assess disc height and alignment on X-ray. By addressing structural shifts that may contribute to uneven disc pressure, we aim to support improved disc function.
What We Track:
Disc height on lateral X-ray
Segmental alignment
PostureScreen Analysis
Digital posture analysis measures deviations in millimeters. We track head position, shoulder level, hip alignment, and overall postural balance throughout care.
What We Track:
Postural deviations (mm)
Bilateral symmetry
Post-Accident Assessment
Following a collision we document cervical alignment and, where stress films are indicated, segmental motion. Where instability is identified we evaluate and address the relevant mechanical and functional findings, and co-manage where the imaging warrants it.
What We Track:
Cervical curve restoration
Ligament stability on stress films
Individual results vary. These measurement approaches represent our clinical protocol. Actual outcomes depend on individual factors including severity, compliance, and overall health. A clinical evaluation is required to determine appropriate care.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Measured, Not Felt
We don't rely on "how do you feel?" as our only metric. We measure posture, function and — where imaging is indicated — alignment, so change is documented rather than assumed.
Documented at Every Stage
Baseline measurements, milestone reassessment, and comparison against where you started. Where imaging is part of that baseline, it is repeated at the same milestones.
Protocol-Driven
Because we follow a precise protocol based on your measurements, we can track progress objectively and adjust care as needed.
Long-Term Stability
Our approach is designed to address the structural architecture of your spine. Stability depends on individual factors and adherence to care.
