Our parents and caregivers told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Burlington and Hamilton
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we listen? Very few of us if any when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
now. Spinal Care Clinic accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Spinal Care Clinic for Burlington and Hamilton
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Spinal Care Clinic 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 in addition to lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles must be abided by 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 had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research suggested 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 manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.
Burlington and Hamilton 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 top
the list. Some Burlington and Hamilton back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor understands how beneficial
our Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients’ understanding 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 fancy tech help
with posture? Potentially, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is effective; feedback influences
change. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – including your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just are not that
observant on our own! Spinal Care Clinic is here to help.
