8) Standing X-Rays
o Front and side view of the neck and low back,
in the standing position
 
o Open mouth view
• Alignment and balance of upper neck vertebrae,
critical for proper function of the entire central nervous system
 
o Checking front and side-view gravity lines (center of gravity)
• If weight is either in front of or behind where it should be,
that means that parts of the neck and low back are
having to handle weight greater than normal
  Normal Cervical Abnormal Cervical
  Normal L-S Gravity Line Abnormal L-S Gravity Line
o Checking (lordotic) curvatures on side views and alignment
on front views
  Normal Cervical Lordosis Straight Neck
o Checking disc spaces for signs of wear and tear
(degeneration, osteoarthritis)
• If a joint has lost normal mobility, disc spaces will begin to
thin while additional bone is being sent to support the
joint (Wolfe’s Law/Osteoarthritis)
o Checking sacral base angle
 
Normal Abnormal
• Normal angle is 36º-42º
• If angle is greater or lesser, the capacity of the low back
will be reduced and the vulnerability for injury increases

“The human body is a marvelous instrument. When in perfect alignment and balance, there is almost no feat of endurance the body cannot handle even on a regular basis. However, structural imbalance of even minor degrees can result in incapacitating injuries and persistent disabilities.
Prevention and treatment of musculo-skeletal injuries in the athlete, therefore, rests in the establishment of the structural balance and architectural integrity of the body-and its re-establishment should injury occur.”
Dr. George Sheehan
The Book of Running (1975)
Every human being is unique in their structure. Imbalances, locked joints and muscle tensions and weaknesses are a result of;
• hereditary weaknesses
• prior injuries
• poor conditioning
• improper or worn shoes
• weight problems
• poor mattress
• life’s stresses
• poor diet
• many others
