4 Ways Chiropractic Can Improve Your Poor Posture

Back pains, poor sleep, and headaches are common problems we deal with every day, but most people don’t realize that the culprit causing these issues is poor posture. Poor posture occurs for varying reasons from standing wrongly or slouching to habitually carrying heavy packages. What do you do when your poor posture starts affecting your quality of life? Easy! See a Chiropractor!

A chiropractor carries out skeletal manipulation techniques that help delve into the roots of poor posture and bring the bones into the proper alignment to improve your posture. That way, you also get rid of those pesky side effects. Ready to improve your posture? Here’s how a chiropractor can help you!

Consultation 

Before a chiropractor starts any adjustment, they ask questions about your day-to-day routines and medical history. This is done to provide an insight into the root of your poor posture. It also helps the chiropractor to know what medical conditions you have that may be enabling your posture. The knowledge of this can help determine if the case is best solved through collaboration with a general physician or if the chiropractor is all you need! 

Physical evaluation 

A chiropractor conducts a physical evaluation to understand the particular areas that hurt and if there are any fractures or bone-related problems. This most times is done with a hands-on approach – assessing the affected areas. A chiropractor can also request that you make a few movements or gestures to evaluate the state of your muscles and joints.

Hands-on spinal manipulation

This is the main specialization of a chiropractor. Once there is a problem or shift in the structure of the spine, it can create a poor posture among other medical concerns. A professional chiropractor manipulates the muscle and joints to realign the spine and maintain its natural curve.  Therefore, a chiropractor can help with poor posture caused by accidents, injuries, and lifestyle factors. 

Positive lifestyle changes

People tend to develop unhealthy and harmful habits that affect their posture such as carrying heavy backpacks. These habits need to be changed or modified for optimal bodily functioning. A chiropractor provides professional recommendations that encourage a positive shift in lifestyle including sleeping posture and diets. Adapting these positive lifestyle changes is important to make your chiropractic sessions effective.

Stretches and exercises 

Other strategies recommended in chiropractic care include stretches and exercises. They are great for restoration purposes, flexibility, and easing tension in your joints. There are a lot of easy stretches to work on while correcting and improving your posture. Ensure to ask your chiropractor before you start any exercises or stretches as demanding exercises may be detrimental to your recovery process. 

Poor posture calls for a visit to a chiropractor to improve your wellness and quality of life. When you go for your chiropractic appointment, ensure that you inform the chiropractor of any medications you use presently and other relevant information that could influence your well-being. Also, keep in mind that the rate at which you get results from chiropractic care depends on the nature of your condition.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I was very impressed with the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. I had received chiropractic in the past for my neck pain, but not to this level of care. After only a few sessions, my symptoms began to disappear, especially my neck pain, and I know I would not have been able to perform to my everyday work functions without the treatment I received."
    Neck Pain
  • "I have benefitted tremendously from the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. Not only has the adjustments helped alleviate my stiffness and aches, but it has helped me have more energy and just feel more balanced over all. A few months ago, I was able to resume a favorite hobby of mine: golf. Due to my previous pain, I never thought that’d be possible."
    Back Pain
  • "Dr. Anderson has allowed me to be headache free for quite some time now. I used to have daily nagging headaches that often would turn into a migraine leaving me unable to function. For the longest time, I thought I could just keep taking medication to have the pain subside."
