Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Sandy Springs
chiropractor does today! 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. Cross Chiropractic Center understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Cross Chiropractic Center for Sandy Springs
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Go away with tips on how
to avoid posture-influenced pain and misery.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture is just not good,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is connected
to things like pain, depression, and stress as well as 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 played a significant role in
whether a person had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and increased 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 practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain bouts.
Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Sandy Springs chiropractor understands how helpful
our Sandy Springs back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets help
with posture? Possibly, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is effective; feedback influences
change. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day boosted
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – including your Sandy Springs chiropractor
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just aren’t very good at it on our own! Cross Chiropractic Center is here to help.
