How We Measure Results
We don't ask you to take our word for it. We show you the X-rays. Structural correction is designed to produce measurable, documentable progress.
We Measure. We Correct. We Reassess.
Every patient at Optimus Spine & Posture receives initial X-rays and measurements. At key milestones during their care plan, we take progress X-rays to assess structural change. This allows both doctor and patient to see objective evidence of progress.
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
For patients with post-accident cervical instability and loss of curve, we document the structural changes and work through specific correction protocols to restore cervical stability.
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 structural change on X-ray so you can see your spine improving.
Documented at Every Stage
Initial X-rays, progress X-rays, and reassessment X-rays. Every stage of your care is documented and compared.
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.
