Our moms and dads told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our West Palm Beach
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Not most of us when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
now. Chiropractic Care understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Chiropractic Care for West Palm Beach
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Go away with tips on how
to avoid posture-influenced pain and misery.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture is just not good,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is connected
to things like pain, depression, and stress in addition to lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles must be abided by 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 had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and increased intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was neither
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. Thus it 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 flare-ups.
West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell 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 top
the list. Some West Palm Beach back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
West Palm Beach chiropractor is aware of how helpful
our West Palm Beach back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can create great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Possibly, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is helpful; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day boosted
participants’ reports on 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 West Palm Beach chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just aren’t very good at it on our own! Chiropractic Care is here to help.
