How good posture and Chiropractic care can improve daily health


Good posture is important for maintaining overall health and well-being, as it can help reduce stress on the musculoskeletal system, prevent pain and injuries, and improve overall function and mobility. Chiropractic treatment can help improve posture by addressing misalignments in the spine, and other joints, which may be causing pain or limiting range of motion.



What Does Better Posture Do?


Some specific benefits of good posture and chiropractic treatment include reducing the risk of injury, correct misalignments, improve breathing, reduce pain, and improving the overall function and mobility in the body. Good posture helps to distribute weight evenly across the body, which can help reduce the risk of strains, sprains, and other injuries. Chiropractic treatment can help correct misalignments that prevent weight from being distributed evenly which may be contributing to poor posture and increase the risk of injury. Proper posture can help improve the function of the respiratory system, as it allows the lungs to expand fully, facilitating easier and more efficient breathing. Chiropractic treatment can help improve posture and respiratory function by correcting misalignments in the spine and other joints in the torso. Poor posture can put added stress on the musculoskeletal system leading to pain and discomfort, which can then lead to joint deterioration and nerve damage. Chiropractic treatment helps alleviate this pain by correcting joint alignments and improving posture. Correct posture along with consistent Chiropractic treatment can help improve overall function and mobility by allowing the body to move more easily and efficiently, therefore helping to prevent future injury.

For Summary

Overall, good posture along with chiropractic treatment can work together to improve overall health and well-being by reducing the risk of injury, improving respiratory function, reducing pain, and improving overall function and mobility. With the amount of time we spend on computers and phones growing exponentially it is becoming more important to take care of the body and how it is postured throughout the day. Combining good posture, Chiropractic treatment and physical fitness routines will lead to better overall health.




Don't Just Take My Word For It


There is research on the relationship between good posture and chiropractic treatment. Here are a few examples of research studies that have examined this topic:

  1. "The relationship between objectively measured sitting time, posture, and low back pain in sedentary employees during COVID-19" The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between objectively measured sitting time, posture, and low back pain (LBP) in adults with full-time (≥ 40 h/week) sedentary “desk” jobs. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) between work environments (home vs. office) were also compared during COVID-19 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9789514/

  2. "The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment on Forward Head Posture: A Randomized Controlled Trial" - This randomized controlled trial, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, examined the effect of chiropractic treatment on forward head posture, which is a common posture issue that can lead to pain and other health problems. The study found that chiropractic treatment was effective in improving forward head posture and reducing neck pain. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1556370722000013/

  3. "The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment on Postural Alignment: A Pilot Study" - This pilot study, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, examined the effect of chiropractic treatment on postural alignment in patients with chronic neck pain. The study found that chiropractic treatment was effective in improving postural alignment and reducing neck pain. A similar article is: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16690379/
