Here's How Chiropractic Can Help with Posture Correction

Written By Eastlake Chiropractic and Massage Center on October 25, 2018

Is back pain ruling your life? Struggling to do simple day-to-day tasks because of the aches and pains you’ve got in your back and/or neck? 

You may have poor posture. 

In a lot of cases, back pain arises as the result of incorrect posture. Whether you spend all day slouching at your desk or are constantly hunched over doing chores, e.g. weeding, vacuuming, or cooking, it’s only a matter of time before pain hits

You may also find that your pain comes and goes. Yet over time, it may worsen, leading to complications with your muscles and joints. 

Are we describing you? Then it’s time to consider chiropractic care for posture correction. 

Why Is Posture Correction So Important? 

As we’ve already highlighted, poor posture may not cause you any concern in its initial stages. However, leaving it untreated may place your spine under huge stress, particularly as the alignment of your spine starts to change. Then, you may start to experience severe pain as your nerves and blood vessels are restricted. 

So what key signs do you need to look out for? 

  • Pain that moves down your back from your neck 
  • Pain that eases when you stand up after sitting or sit down after standing 
  • Pain that gets worse when you do a particular task, e.g. vacuuming or weeding 
  • Pain that appears suddenly when you change your car, job, or work chair 

The Benefits of Chiropractic for Your Overall Health

It’s important you don’t ignore any of these warning signs and seek the help of your local chiropractor in Seattle as soon as possible. 

To pinpoint exactly what’s causing your discomfort, your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms with you before carrying out a physical examination of your spine. Further diagnostic tests, like X-rays, may be required to confirm their findings. 

Once established, they’ll explain what treatment plan is best suited to your symptoms and why. 

This may include chiropractic adjustments. These are proven to help reduce the built-up tension in your back and neck while easing those restricted joints. Spinal manipulation may also complement this, working to correct any spinal misalignments that may be irritating your nerves. 

Enjoy Pain Relief and Better Posture

Today, many of us suffer from poor posture due to the work we carry out. But as we’ve seen, chiropractic can correct this before it progresses into something worse. 

And with advice and guidance from your chiropractor, you can ensure your recovery is ongoing and your life remains pain-free.
