Poor Posture
Do you find yourself slouching with your head and shoulders creeping forward after just an hour or two on the computer?
Does it feel difficult to sit with “normal” posture?
Do you find yourself getting a sore neck and pain between your shoulder blades when you sit for too long?
Does your lower back stiffen up when you're seated?
All of these problems can be attributed to poor posture and chiropractic treatment is an excellent treatment option for you. We’ve seen a huge influx of patients in the past few months due to poor ergonomics that have led to repetitive strains. Many people do not have optimal home work stations in comparison to what they have at work. Every time you sit with poor posture, small strains are occurring that can lead to neck pain, back pain and tension headaches. For every inch of forward head translation an extra ten pounds of strain is placed on the neck. Over time, these strains compound upon one another and can result in pain and dysfunction and accumulation of scar tissue within the muscles.
Your plan of care will consist of chiropractic adjustments to restore normal spinal alignment. Muscular release techniques to relieve painful muscle contractures and an exercise program to include a combination of strengthening exercises to make the muscles more resilient and stretching exercises to improve range of motion and establish normal muscle tone. We will also give you advice on what a good ergonomic setup looks like.
