ABC (Advanced Biostructural Correction) addresses the root cause of musculoskeletal pain, which are vertebrae that have slipped forward. When bones slip forward, the spine loses stability at these areas, because anatomically there is no muscle or combination of muscles to pull a bone straight back. Tension will be created in other parts of the body in order keep the body upright . Traditional chiropractic addresses these areas of tension, temporarily relieving pain, but it tends to always back in the same areas, because they are treating compensatory areas rather than the root cause. By only correcting vertebrae that have slipped forward (rather than pushing bones more forward in traditional chiropractic), the underlying instability is gone, and the body is able to unwind and relax.. When biomechanical leverage has been restored, there is decreased tension in the spine, and almost all ABC patients experience zero pain after going through their corrective care plan.

Take a seat. Take a deep breath and relax. Does your body slump forward? When you are on your feet for a few minutes, does your back feel tight or neck start to ache? For the gym enthusiasts, do you have issues engaging certain body parts when you exercise or have lagging parts that affect the flow of your physique? Do you avoid certain exercises because they simply don’t fit or cause you pain? If you answered yes to any of these, Advanced Biostructural Correction can change your life. As you go through the ABC corrective phase, the body will untwist from compensatory patterns from old injuries and realign itself over time, improving the body’s symmetry and improving the overall “look” to a physique. As the body straightens up, many people even report looking and feeling taller. For myself personally, I saw drastic improvements in my physique in terms of structure and balance, and found it much easier to bring up “lagging” body parts.

As people grow older, their posture begins to slump more and more forward (When have you seen an old person falling backwards?) The reason is because the body has no muscles or combination of muscles that can pull back a vertebrae that has slipped forward, which causes the body to shift backwards in other areas in an attempt to remain upright. These areas that have shifted backwards are usually where the pain is and is where most other chiropractors would treat. Treating these compensatory areas temporarily relieves symptoms but does not help the body biomechanically function any better. Over many years of stress on the body, the spine can no longer compensate and keep itself upright on its own, leading to the need for external support such as a cane or walker.

The body builds up scar tissue around the protective layer covering the spinal cord called the meninges as the body falls forward, and this scar tissue creates tension that pulls on the brainstem. While this scar tissue may prevent the body from falling more forward in the short term, in the long run this meningeal scar tissue leads to decreased movement, nerve impingement, and brain fog. These common experiences that most people would dismiss as just part of getting old is caused by something physiological that wasn’t discovered until recently by neurosurgeons Yamada and Brieg (1) Yamada was able to remove some of scar tissue using surgery, but the founder of ABC, Jesse Jutkowitz was able to find a way to break apart this scar tissue by using specific, full body stretches. Combined with correcting the bones that have slipped forward, ABC will allow you feel and function like someone much younger.
