Our moms and dads told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Pensacola
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we listen? Very few of us if any when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
today. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center for Pensacola
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center 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 as well as lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles need to be respected 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 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 suggested 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 flare-ups.
Pensacola CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can explain to us
chiropractors what they believe initiates 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 Pensacola 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
Pensacola chiropractor understands how beneficial
our Pensacola back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can make 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 effective; feedback changes habits. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day increased
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 Pensacola chiropractor included
- set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just are not very good at it on our own! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is here to help.
