Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Sitka
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Not most of us when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka for Sitka
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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 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 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 isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was neither
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 flare-ups.
Sitka 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 Sitka 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
Sitka chiropractor values how helpful
our Sitka back pain patients’ understanding 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 fancy tech improve posture? Potentially, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is valuable; feedback changes habits. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day boosted
participants’ reports on 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 Sitka chiropractor
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just are not that
observant on our own! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is here to help.
