Postural Science Restoring the Original proper Posture with a Postural Control

In the world of chiropractic, it is considered that the human body will restore its proper posture and ideal spinal alignment by adjusting vertebral subluxations. It is because the range of joint motion and muscle balance are restored by adjusting vertebral subluxations in conjunction with the automatic support of postural control and postural reflexes. However, among clinical cases, some patients constantly experience a subluxation at the same location or have a recurrent subluxation immediately after getting adjusted at a single treatment, or even worse, some patients do not see any improvement in symptoms several months later. One of the reasons behind this is that adjusting subluxations does not provide a proper posture, which is also apparent from clinical data. If that is so, what is the reason why proper posture is not restored although subluxations are adjusted? In the human body, the postural control and postural reflexes are automatically generated as motor outputs after incoming visual information, somato-sensory information and vestibular sensation information are integrated at the central nervous system. Thus, it was concluded that if there is a problem with the input information and as a result of the postural control and postural reflexes applied with that information, it does not regain proper posture. In this study, we focused on the input of visual information to discuss evidence and corrective method on the underlying assumption that one of the reasons of generating improper posture is attributable to the input of visual information.
