Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Plainville
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
now. Layden Chiropractic understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Layden Chiropractic for Plainville
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 related
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 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 experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting is not good either as it strained
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
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 manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain episodes.
Plainville CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can explain to us
chiropractors what they believe 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 Plainville 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
Plainville chiropractor is aware of how helpful
our Plainville back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can make great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets help
with 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 just 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture contrasted with a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – your Plainville chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! Layden Chiropractic is here to help.
