System for spinal and posture examination and treatment

A method for spinal examination and treatment, comprising:

• obtaining a first image of a patient's spine and head;
• measuring a lateral distance between the center of the head and the front of the C4/C5 disc;
• measuring the lordotic curvature of the spine;
• weighting the patient's head in an upright position;
• obtaining further images of the patient's spine and head, remeasuring the lateral distance and the lordotic curvature, and adjusting the weighting of the patient's head repeatedly to obtain a final weight where the lateral distance between the center of the patient's head and the front of the C4/C5 disc is within a predetermined range.

A method for spinal examination and treatment, comprising:

• obtaining a first image of a patient's spine;
• determining if the spine is compensated by a low shoulder;
• weighting the low shoulder of the patient;
• obtaining further images of the patient's spine, determining spinal compensation, and adjusting the weighting of the patient's shoulder repeated until a final weighting is reached where the spine is substantially in alignment with itself.

A method for spinal examination and treatment, comprising:

• obtaining a first image of a patient's pelvic and lower lumbar area;
• determining if the patient's hip is rotated forward;
• weighting the patient's hip;
• and
• obtaining further images of the patient's pelvic and lower lumbar area, redetermining if the patient's hip is rotated forward and adjusting the weighting on the patient's hip until a final weighting is reached where the hip is no longer rotated forward.

A method for examining and treating a patient's skeletal system, comprising:

• obtaining a first image of one or more areas of a patient's skeletal system;
• determining areas of abnormal condition of the patient's skeletal system;
• weighting the patient's skeletal system to correct the areas of abnormal condition;
• and
• obtaining further images of the patient's skeletal system, redetermining the presence of areas of abnormal condition of the patient's skeletal system, and adjusting the weighting of the patient's skeletal system until a final weighting is reached where the patient's areas of abnormal condition of the skeletal system are no longer abnormal.
