Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our New Roads
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Not likely when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
today. New Roads Chiropractic Center understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to New Roads Chiropractic Center for New Roads
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave New Roads 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 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 need to be abided by which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle played a significant role in
whether a person experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting is not 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 manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain bouts.
New Roads 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 New Roads back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
New Roads chiropractor understands how beneficial
our New Roads back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and
a tool can make great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech help
with posture? Possibly, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is valuable; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your New Roads chiropractor included
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! New Roads Chiropractic Center is here to help.
