Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Certainly, our Oxford
chiropractor does now! 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
now. Satterwhite Chiropractic understands and embraces
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Satterwhite Chiropractic for Oxford
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 in addition to lower
levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal
angles need to be abided by which slouching do
not do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle had a significant role in
whether a person had back pain or not. (2) Slouching while
lifting is not good either as it put a strain on
disc fibers and increased intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research recommended using a “free posture” that it was neither
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. Thus it 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 know well often what triggers their back pain episodes.
Oxford 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 Oxford 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
Oxford chiropractor understands how beneficial
our Oxford back pain patients’ understanding of
their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this and
a tool can create great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s tech-y gadgets improve posture? Possibly, it may do so 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 boosted
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – including your Oxford chiropractor
– 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! Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to help.
