Our moms and dads told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our West Palm Beach
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Very few of us if any when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
today. Moses Chiropractic accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Moses Chiropractic for West Palm Beach
neck pain and back 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 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 must be respected which slouching doesn’t 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 is not good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
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 manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain bouts.
West Palm Beach CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell us
chiropractors what they believe 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 West Palm Beach 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
West Palm Beach chiropractor understands how beneficial
our West Palm Beach back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain helps them recover. 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? Potentially, 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 increased
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your West Palm Beach chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! Moses Chiropractic is here to help.
