Our moms and dads warned
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Toronto
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we listen? Not most of us when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre for Toronto
neck pain and back pain relief from
your slouching ways. Leave Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre with tips on how
to keep posture-influenced pain and
distress at bay.
SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN
Slouching posture isn’t good at all,
not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is linked
to things like pain, depression, and stress in addition to 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 played 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 increased intradiscal pressure. Therefore,
Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was not
too kyphotic or lordotic curved. Thus it 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 flare-ups.
Toronto 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 Toronto 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
Toronto chiropractor understands how helpful
our Toronto 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 help
with 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 for only 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress along with neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your Toronto chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just are not that
observant on our own! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is here to help.
