Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Ashburn
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Very few of us if any when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
today. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn for Ashburn
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Go away 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 need to be abided by which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle played 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 raised 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 manner. (3) This concept of balance
makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain flare-ups.
Ashburn CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell us
chiropractors what they believe brings on 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 Ashburn 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
Ashburn chiropractor values how helpful
our Ashburn back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can create great results!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech help
with posture? Potentially, 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 boosted
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition
to neck and back posture contrasted with a group who did
not use the device. (1) We – your Ashburn chiropractor too
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is here to help.
