It works like this:
If you have a vertebra that slips out of position to the
left your body has muscles on the right side that can pull
the vertebra to the right repositioning it. Likewise, if a
vertebra slips to the right your body has muscles on the left
that can pull it left, back into its correct position.

If a vertebra slips backward, you have muscles that attach
to the vertebra and something in front of it (the front of
the pelvis and the front of the rib cage) so they can pull
the vertebra forward and reposition it.

However, if a vertebra slips out of place in the forward
direction there are no muscles attaching to the vertebra and
something stable behind the vertebra.

That means the body cannot pull the vertebra in the backward
direction. Therefore a vertebra slipping forward is about
the only direction of misalignment the body cannot self-correct
and reposition without help.
As stated above, many people have difficulty with this concept
because they have the idea that the body can totally self-correct
or self-heal anything. That the body cannot self-correct or
self-heal everything is obviously true or people would live
forever.
That the body cannot self-correct everything is true to the
point where you can say that the only problem(s) in body structure
is/are when something goes out of position in a direction
that the body has no muscles to counter [pull opposite]. Therefore
the body when a bone moves out of position in a direction
the body cannot self-correct it has to move something else
out of position to compensate for it. But, the compensation
can now become a bone the body cannot or will not realign
(even though it has muscles to so) because it needs the compensation.
If that compensation misalignment causes the body enough
problems, the body might need to compensate for the compensation.
That misaligns yet another bone for which the body might need
a compensation and so on and on until you get where your body
cannot function. (Most times a body hits a point of stability
where it cannot function normally but it can at least stay
stable and do enough functioning to get by. That is your person
who is obviously not "right" but never seems to
get much worse until something happens that is big enough
to really throw him off and then he goes downhill fast.)

HOW THINGS GO WRONG IN BODIES
Though the meninges normally stretch and pull when you bend
forward or sideways, when a bone or bones are out of their
proper position there is an increase in the pull of the meninges
that is abnormal. The direction of the increased pull is also
abnormal. (Since the bones are misaligned, the orientation
of the meninges will be misaligned which changes the direction
of the pull). This abnormal direction and amount of pull causes
even more misalignments of the bones to compensate for the
out of position bones; for the change in direction of the
pull of the meninges and for change in the amount of pull
of the meninges which puts abnormal pressures on different
areas. As the bones misalign and take everything else with
them, the muscles are also pulled on differently and the effect
the muscles have on pulling and moving the bones is different.
If you had normally used a certain muscle to move in a certain
way and now have to do it differently or cannot do that motion
at all, that is why.
Though they are keeping the body upright by compensating
the abnormal weight bearing caused by the original misalignments;
the misalignments created to compensate the original bone
out of position also cause many difficulties for your body
.
One thing to note about the compensations is that they disappear
if you can release the meninges and correct the position of
the originally misaligned bones. Because the compensations
are no longer needed the body self-corrects them and will
then stay correctly aligned.
That is one of the reasons Advanced BioStructural Correction
is an advance. We have determined how to effectively release
the meninges and how to find the misalignments that the body
needs corrected and how to correct only them versus moving
the misalignment that are occurring as compensations.
This is no small thing. If you change the alignment of bones
that are out of position to compensate for something else,
you are taking away the compensations. That makes the body
less able to handle itself (because of the original misalignments
and less ability to compensate). The body gets worse mechanically
and the effects can further reduce the bodys ability
to compensate in other ways. (This is when the person starts
going downhill fast.)
The change in pattern you force by removing compensations
might have a person feeling better at the point they were
having difficulty or feeling pain, but will also cause them
to compensate elsewhere and create other problems you might
not normally associate with misaligned structure -- digestive
problems, breathing problems and more.
That brings us to the next very important point: Why do you
feel pain where you feel pain?
