Change your posture, change your life may sound like a bold statement.
But posture affects so many areas of your life: Posture interferes with how your brain communicates with your body. Poor posture can lead to stretching, twisting and damage to the spinal cord and all the supporting structures of your spine.
Who is affected by poor posture?
Poor posture can negatively impact anyone, young and old.
Did you know that if you start early, correcting posture can lead to amazing transformations in your health? Everyone should have regular posture check ups.
How is my posture affected by daily activities?
Poor posture is caused by:
- Long periods of inactivity
- Being hunched over desks, computers and handheld electronic devices
- Jobs that require repetitive, physically taxing activities, including a lot of bending forward and lifting
Your posture matters!
Good posture may result in:
- Improved Nerve Communication
- More Energy
- Greater Self-Esteem & Mood
- Improved Digestion
- Easier Breathing
- Less Headaches
- Less Back and Neck Pain
- Increasing your spine’s flexibility and resilience.
- Decreased wear and tear on your joints that could otherwise result in arthritis
- Decreased stress on ligaments that hold the joints of the spine together
- Makes you look great and feel better!
WHY are Chiropractors so concerned about posture?
“Chiropractic focuses on the anatomy of the spinal cord and the nerves that branch out from it. Even minor deviations of the spine caused by poor posture can impair the working of a nerve and the body parts it supplies.” - Miriam Stoddard, MD.
Chiropractic can help!
Chiropractors are nervous system experts able to assess the impact of your posture on your health. Even if your posture has been a problem for years, it’s possible to make improvements.
