Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Groton
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Very few of us if any when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office for Groton
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 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 must be abided by which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle had 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 increased intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research recommended using a “free posture” that it was neither
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 episodes.
Groton 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 are on
the list. Some Groton 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
Groton chiropractor understands how helpful
our Groton back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this and
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 good; feedback influences
change. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day boosted
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition
to neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your Groton chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just are not very good at it on our own! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is here to help.
