Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Pflugerville
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we pay attention? Not most of us when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Pflugerville Wellness Center accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Pflugerville Wellness Center for Pflugerville
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Pflugerville Wellness Center with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture isn’t good at all,
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 need to be abided by 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 isn’t good either as it strained
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
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 are well aware what triggers their back pain bouts.
Pflugerville 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 are on
the list. Some Pflugerville back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical issues like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Pflugerville chiropractor values how beneficial
our Pflugerville back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this and
a tool can make great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Potentially, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is beneficial; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture compared to a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – your Pflugerville chiropractor too
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not very good at it on our own! Pflugerville Wellness Center is here to help.
