Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Williamson
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
today. Apple Country Chiropractic accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Apple Country Chiropractic for Williamson
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Apple Country Chiropractic 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 linked
to things like pain, depression, and stress as well as lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles must be respected which slouching do
not 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 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. Thus it used both active and passive
spine elements in a more balanced manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain bouts.
Williamson 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 Williamson back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Williamson chiropractor is aware of how beneficial
our Williamson back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech help
with posture? Possibly, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is beneficial; feedback changes habits. In a new 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 along with neck and back posture contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – including your Williamson chiropractor
– 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! Apple Country Chiropractic is here to help.
