Our moms and dads told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Minster
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Not most of us when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Minster Chiropractic Center accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Minster Chiropractic Center for Minster
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Minster Chiropractic Center with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture isn’t good at all,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is connected
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 displayed a significant role in
whether a person experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and increased intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research recommended 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 practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.
Minster CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can explain to us
chiropractors what they think brings on 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 Minster 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
Minster chiropractor is aware of how beneficial
our Minster 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 tech-y gadgets improve 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 boosted
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture contrasted with a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – including your Minster chiropractor
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not very good at it on our own! Minster Chiropractic Center is here to help.
