Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Carrolltown
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Not likely when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
now. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation for Carrolltown
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture is just not good,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is related
to things like pain, depression, and stress in addition to lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles need to be respected which slouching do
not do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle played a significant role in
whether a person had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was not
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. This used both active and passive
spine elements in a more balanced way. (3) This concept of balance
makes practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.
Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell us
chiropractors what they think brings on their
pain. Active movements (35%), static postures (28.1%), overdoing a task (5.3%),
biomechanical issues, lack of exercise, work and medications are on
the list. Some Carrolltown back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical issues like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Carrolltown chiropractor is aware of how beneficial
our Carrolltown back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Potentially, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is valuable; feedback influences
change. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture compared to a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – your Carrolltown chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just aren’t very good at it on our own! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help.
