Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Millville
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we listen? Not likely when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Wilson Family Chiropractic accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Wilson Family Chiropractic for Millville
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Wilson Family Chiropractic with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
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 doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle displayed 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 recommended 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 are well aware what triggers their back pain flare-ups.
Millville 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 top
the list. Some Millville 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
Millville chiropractor understands how helpful
our Millville back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can make great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets help
with posture? Possibly, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is valuable; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture compared to a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – including your Millville chiropractor
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not that
observant on our own! Wilson Family Chiropractic is here to help.
