How Chiropractic Care Helps Improve Posture
Bad posture is more than just a cosmetic issue – it can lead to serious health problems. That’s where chiropractic care comes in. Regular adjustments may help improve how you stand and sit, which in turn can help alleviate back pain, headaches, and other issues caused by poor posture.
Here are a few other ways chiropractic could help you.
1. Adjustments can help align your spine.
One of the major causes of poor posture is a misaligned spine, even in kids. When your spine is out of alignment, it puts strain on your muscles and ligaments, which can lead to pain and stiffness. In children, it will change the way they grow and develop physically. Adjustments can help align your spine, which takes the pressure off of your muscles and ligaments and can help improve your posture.
2. Chiropractic care can help strengthen the muscles that support your spine.
When your spine is misaligned, proper muscle support weakens. Over time, this can lead to a loss of strength. Chiropractic care can help strengthen these muscles, which will help improve your posture.
3. Adjustments can improve the efficiency of brain function.
Are your muscles tense or tight often? Did you know that the deep spinal muscles that run down your back send direct messages to the pre-frontal cortex of your brain? This part of the brain controls pain, inflammation, the immune system, hormones, emotions and intelligence. Chiropractic adjustments help those postural muscles function in a more balanced way, which also increases the efficiency of the pre-frontal cortex.
4. It may help improve your balance.
When your spine is out of alignment, it can cause you to lose your balance. This is especially important as we age! Chiropractic care works to restore that balance, making it easier for you to stand or sit tall.
5. Chiropractic care can help improve your flexibility.
When your muscles are tight, they can restrict your range of motion and make it difficult to change positions. This can lead to mobility issues. Chiropractic addresses the root cause of the problem, allowing things to move easier within your body.
