Improper bone growth is the most "medically" visible of postural issues because it will show up on the X-ray, which many chiropractors can give you. I have gone to a couple chiropractors. Their general perspective is that you can get so tense chronically and your body gets so tired in holding up particular positions, such as a forward head posture, that you basically begin to grow new bones on your vertebrae to “lock” yourself into a position. Chiropractors can undo some of the damage to the bones, which is good, but problems can frequently come back if the most root causes are not addressed.
