Acutonix believes health and beauty is more than skin deep. Look at the lovely spines in these healthy spinal beauty contest winners. An important overlooked aspect of Health and wellness is your spine maintenance and function. Your function and health rely on the functioning of your nervous system which is encased in your spine. Distortion of the spine can lead to problems with your nervous system.

Reasons to keep up on your spinal maintenance:

1) Poor Posture Habits – contributes to pain and spinal problems

2) Ergonomics – improper work stations lead to pain and possible injury

6) High Stress – tight muscles, prone to headaches, postural distortions
