Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the
entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control. - Joseph Pilates
Of course we were often cautioned
to stand up straight! Posture matters. West Des Moines back pain patients are
quite familiar with this. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa makes sure that they do! Poor posture and back pain often
go together. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa treats them
together. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa and our West Des Moines chiropractic patients experience improvement in one often is followed by improvement in
the other.
POSTURE AND West Des Moines BACK PAIN
Many factors affect how posture and West Des Moines back pain are
linked. The body mechanism truly
is at work as Pilates says. Researchers say
that poor posture is documented to alter
joint position and cause pain, like back pain. Musculoskeletal
back pain is bettered when postural issues are fixed.
(1) Recent research says that even patients with plantar heel pain experience more low back pain and higher rates of low
back pain disability because of decreased foot and
ankle function. (2) When one leg is shorter than the other, hip pain
is recorded to occur on the longer leg side.
Sciatica (leg pain) and disc protrusion do , too. (3,4,5) Leg
length inequality alters posture and may initiate
back pain. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa addresses this
myriad of issues with chiropractic care options like spinal
manipulation, exercise and sometimes orthotic lifts for
our West Des Moines chiropractic patients.
TREATMENT FOR POSTURE RELATED BACK PAIN
A foundation of the West Des Moines chiropractic
treatment plan for patients with West Des Moines back pain and postural
issues is frequently manual therapy spinal manipulation (after
a thorough examination, of course!). Executive Chiropractic of Iowa picks
this option as spinal research presents that it
is effective accompanied by
posture correction. Manual therapy treatment furthers
posture improvement and low pain reduction more notably
than low back massage. (6) Three treatments of manipulation improved
posture control and reduced pain in a female patient with low back pain and uneven balance. (7)
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers posture-correcting, pain-reducing West Des Moines
chiropractic care.
