Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Severna Park
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Not likely when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
now. Back And Neck Care Center accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Back And Neck Care Center for Severna Park
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 isn’t good at all,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is linked
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 experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and increased intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was neither
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. Thus it used both active and passive
spine elements in a more balanced way. (3) This concept of balance
makes practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.
Severna Park 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 Severna Park back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Severna Park chiropractor understands how helpful
our Severna Park back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and
a tool can make great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Possibly, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is beneficial; feedback changes habits. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day boosted
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 – including your Severna Park chiropractor
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! Back And Neck Care Center is here to help.
