Our moms and dads told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Vancouver
chiropractor does now! Did we or do we listen? Very few of us if any when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
today. Vancouver Disc Centers accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Vancouver Disc Centers for Vancouver
neck pain and back 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 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 must be abided by which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle had a significant role in
whether a person experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was not
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 practical sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who are well aware what triggers their back pain flare-ups.
Vancouver 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 are on
the list. Some Vancouver back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Vancouver chiropractor understands how beneficial
our Vancouver back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can make great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets improve 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’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your Vancouver chiropractor included
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not very good at it on our own! Vancouver Disc Centers is here to help.
