Chiropractic Care for Your Posture!

Chiropractic Care Can Help Improve Posture

Often a patient will come into my office in Germantown, and besides the pain that they are complaining about, they also state that they have bad posture.  Luckily, besides improving their pain, an often side effect of being under the care of a Chiropractor is improved posture.  

Our Daily Sitting Positions has a Great Impact on Our Posture

As a society we sit, and sit in front of computers, and then go home and sit in front of the TV.  How many hours a day do we do this, often it is quite a bit of our waking hours.  All of this time in these positions has trained our musculature that this is normal, but it is not.  Imagine if you spent that many hours a day fine tuning your golf game, or any other sport you play, you could go pro!

Getting adjusted by a Chiropractor is The First Step in Improving Your Posture!

Look around your office, and you will see people with forward head carriage, essentially their shoulders are rounded forward and their heads are sticking out in front of their torsos.  When you look at a person from the side, their shoulders should not be forward and the hole in their ear should be aligned with their AC joint of the shoulder.  Now obviously from my perspective, I feel getting adjusted, making sure all of your vertebrae are aligned is the first step to improving your posture, but there are things you can do for yourself.  I have never liked the idea of simply telling someone to pull their shoulders back and stick out their chest.  This is not the most comfortable way to walk around.  But what I recommend is imagining that you are a marionette and you have a string attached to your head pulling you straight up, elongating your spine.  This is easier to maintain, and you will actually appear taller.
