Hope for Oxford Back and Neck Pain Due to Slouching and Poor Posture

Come to Satterwhite Chiropractic for Oxford 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 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 need to be respected which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index and thoracic kyphosis angle played 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 recommended 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 manner. (3) This concept of balance makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients who know well often what triggers their back pain bouts.
Oxford CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can tell us chiropractors what they think brings on 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 helpful our Oxford back pain patients’ knowledge of their pain boosts their recovery. Knowledge like this and a tool can make great outcomes!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE
Could today’s fancy tech help with posture? Possibly, it may do so 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 for only 15 minutes a day boosted participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions, energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture compared to a group who did not use the device. (1) We – including your Oxford chiropractor – 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! Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to help.
