April 21, 2020

Our parents and caregivers told us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Carrolltown chiropractor does now! Did we or do we listen? Not most of us when we were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser today. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understands and embraces slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation for Carrolltown neck pain and back pain relief from your slouching ways. Leave Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation with tips on how to avoid posture-influenced pain and misery.

SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN

Slouching posture isn’t good at all, not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is connected to things like pain, depression, and stress as well as 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 had a significant role in whether a person experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while lifting is not good either as it put a strain on 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 good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients who know well often what triggers their back pain episodes.

Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN

Back pain sufferers can explain to us chiropractors what they think initiates 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 concerns 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 make great results!

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE

Could today’s tech-y gadgets improve posture? Potentially, it may do so quite a bit!  As with anything in life, feedback is beneficial; feedback influences change. In a recent study of feedback on posture using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day improved participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions, energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition to neck and back posture compared to a group who did not use the device. (1) We – your Carrolltown chiropractor included – may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture, but when it comes down to it, we just are not very good at it on our own! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help.
