If you feet are not aligned, neither your are your hips or shoulders usually, all due to your spine not being properly aligned.

If you think of your body as lines, it's easy to understand what a misalignment means. Think about your spine as the middle point of your body that runs from the the top of your head to the ground between your feet. If you draw horizontal lines at your shoulders, hips, and feet, so the line runs directly through both, you'd think those lines would be parallel to the floor.

Usually, however, they're not. When your feet, hips, and shoulders are misaligned, your spine might curve slightly to one side or the others and individual vertebra are not inline with the others, causing strain and discomfort.

Think about actions you do every day, like bending over to look inside the fridge, reaching for the telephone at work, or even lying on your side while your sleep at night. When your body is uneven, one side is bearing the weight of these actions far more than the other. This side can become fatigued from the extra strain and it results in discomfort and pain. If you feel pains in your body at the end of the day, you can think of those pains as signals your spine is sending you saying that you are not lined up. Chiropractic aims to even out all of these lines across your body so the strain from one side to the other is reduced.
