Our parents and caregivers told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Manahawkin
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Very few of us if any when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
today. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Manahawkin Chiropractic Center for Manahawkin
neck pain and back 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 isn’t good at all,
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 need to be abided by which slouching do
not 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. Therefore,
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 way. (3) This concept of balance
makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain bouts.
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can explain to us
chiropractors what they believe brings on 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 Manahawkin back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Manahawkin chiropractor values how helpful
our Manahawkin back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can create great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets improve posture? Possibly, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is beneficial; 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 contrasted with a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – including your Manahawkin chiropractor
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not that
observant on our own! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here to help.
