Our parents and caregivers told
us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our Baton Rouge
chiropractor does today! Did we or do we pay attention? Very few of us if any when we
were young and maybe a small number who are older and wiser
now. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation accepts and welcomes
slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation for Baton Rouge
back pain relief and neck 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 respected which slouching doesn’t do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index
and thoracic kyphosis angle had 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 neither
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 are well aware what triggers their back pain bouts.
Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS
THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN
Back pain sufferers can explain to 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 Baton Rouge back pain sufferers will agree
that even nonbiomedical concerns like psychological state/stress/anxiety,
weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your
Baton Rouge chiropractor understands how beneficial
our Baton Rouge 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 fancy tech help
with posture? Potentially, it may help quite a
bit! As with anything in life, feedback
is good; feedback influences
change. In a recent study of feedback on posture
using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day increased
participants’ descriptions of physical functioning, emotions,
energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress as well as neck and back posture contrasted with a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your Baton Rouge chiropractor included
– set out with the best of intentions to “watch” our posture,
but when it comes down to it, we just aren’t that
observant on our own! Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation is here to help.
