Our parents and caregivers told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Colorado Springs
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we pay attention? Very few of us if any when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
today. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR for Colorado Springs
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Go away with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture is just not good,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is linked
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 respected which slouching do
not 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 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 are well aware what triggers their back pain bouts.
Colorado Springs CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell 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 Colorado Springs back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Colorado Springs chiropractor values how beneficial
our Colorado Springs back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. 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? 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 for only 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition
to neck and back posture contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your Colorado Springs chiropractor too
– set out with 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! The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is here to help.
