Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our West Des Moines
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Not likely when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Executive Chiropractic of Iowa for West Des Moines
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Executive Chiropractic of Iowa with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture is just not good,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is connected
to things like pain, depression, and stress in addition to lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles need to be respected 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 experienced 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 not
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. This used both active and passive
spine elements in a more balanced way. (3) This concept of balance
makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.
West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
West Des Moines chiropractor understands how beneficial
our West Des Moines back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Possibly, it may do so quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is good; feedback changes habits. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ reports on 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 West Des Moines chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just aren’t very good at it on our own! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is here to help.
