Poor Posture Affects More Areas in Your Life Then You Think

If you are suffering from back or neck pain due to poor posture, our Lake Worth chiropractor can help you.

Problems Associated With Poor Posture

Slouching, prolonged sitting, leaning forward and downward to work at your computer or read on your mobile devices are common causes of poor posture that can create pain, such as, text neck, which is characterized by tight neck and back muscles, jaw clenching, or tempromandibular joint syndrome (TMJ).

In addition to increased fatigue, digestive difficulties, and sluggish emotional health, bad posture can cause headaches, back and neck pain, hip pain, foot pain, reduced lung capacity, and muscles that are trained to constantly repeat the cycle of pain. Chiropractic care can help by properly aligning and strengthening your spine to reduce pain. Our chiropractor can also help you retrain your muscles to engage in postural practices that will keep you pain-free and healthy.

Improve Your Posture

• Align your hips and shoulders and keep your pelvis tucked in when walking or standing.
• Keep your computer at a height that allows you to look straight ahead, not downward.
• Walk briskly with your head held high, not looking at the ground.
• Try using a rolling backpack.
• Switch your purse from side to side; don't always carry it over the same shoulder. 
• Use a hand-free accessory when talking on a mobile phone.
• Put equal weight on each leg or side when standing.
