Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Malverne
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we pay attention? Not most of us when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Malverne Health & Wellness understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Malverne Health & Wellness for Malverne
back pain relief and neck pain relief from
your slouching ways. Go away 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 must be respected 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 strained
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was neither
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. This used both active and passive
spine elements in a more balanced way. (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.
Malverne CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell us
chiropractors what they believe brings on 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 Malverne back pain sufferers will concur
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Malverne chiropractor values how beneficial
our Malverne back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this plus
a tool can create great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech improve posture? Possibly, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is good; feedback influences
change. In a new study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device for only 15 minutes a day improved
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition
to neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – including your Malverne chiropractor
– may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but in the end, we just are not that
observant on our own! Malverne Health & Wellness is here to help.
