Our parents and caregivers warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Largo
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we heed
their advice? Not most of us when we
were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser
today. Hollstrom & Associates Inc understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Hollstrom & Associates Inc for Largo
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 isn’t good at all,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is related
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 do
not do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle displayed a significant role in
whether a person had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting isn’t good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research recommended 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 good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients
who know well often what triggers their back pain episodes.
Largo CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell 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 Largo back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical issues like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Largo chiropractor is aware of how beneficial
our Largo back pain patients’ knowledge of
their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great results!
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 beneficial; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ descriptions of 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 Largo chiropractor too
– may have 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! Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help.
