Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Fernandina Beach
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we listen? Very few of us if any when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Amelia Chiropractic Clinic for Fernandina Beach
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 connected
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 respected which slouching doesn’t 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 is not good either as it strained
disc fibers and increased intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research recommended 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 practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain flare-ups.
Fernandina Beach 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 are on
the list. Some Fernandina Beach 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
Fernandina Beach chiropractor values how beneficial
our Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain helps them recover. 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 valuable; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture compared to a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – your Fernandina Beach chiropractor too
– may have 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! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here to help.
