Hope for St Peters Back and Neck Pain Due to Slouching and Poor Posture

April 21, 2020

Our moms and dads warned us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our St Peters chiropractor does now! Did we or do we pay attention? Not most of us when we were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser now. Old Mill Chiropractic accepts and welcomes slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Old Mill Chiropractic for St Peters neck pain and back pain relief from your slouching ways. Leave Old Mill Chiropractic 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 as well as 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 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 neither too kyphotic or lordotic curved. Thus it 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.

St Peters 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 top the list. Some St Peters 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 St Peters chiropractor understands how helpful our St Peters back pain patients’ understanding of their pain boosts their recovery. 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 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 contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your St Peters chiropractor included – set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture, but when it comes down to it, we just are not that observant on our own! Old Mill Chiropractic is here to help.
