Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the
entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control. - Joseph Pilates
Of course we were often told
to stand up straight! Posture matters. Sitka back pain patients know this. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka ensures that they do! Poor posture and back pain often
go together. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka treats them
together. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka and our Sitka chiropractic patients see improvement in one often is followed by improvement in
the other.
POSTURE AND Sitka BACK PAIN
Many issues factor into the connection
between Sitka back pain and posture. The body mechanism truly
is at work as Pilates suggests. Researchers point out
that poor posture is documented to change
joint position and produce pain, like back pain. Musculoskeletal
back pain is improved when postural issues are addressed.
(1) Recent research reports that even patients with plantar heel pain feel more low back pain and higher rates of low
back pain disability because of decreased foot and
ankle function. (2) When one leg is shorter than the other, hip pain
is documented to occur on the longer leg side.
Sciatica (leg pain) and disc protrusion do as well. (3,4,5) Leg
length inequality affects posture and may produce
back pain. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka takes care of this
myriad of concerns with chiropractic care options like spinal
manipulation, exercise and occasionally orthotic lifts for
all of our Sitka
back pain patients.
TREATMENT FOR POSTURE RELATED BACK PAIN
A basis of the Sitka chiropractic
treatment plan for patients with Sitka back pain and postural
issues is many times manual therapy spinal manipulation (after
a thorough examination, of course!). Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka picks
this option as spinal research discloses that it
is effective along with
posture correction. Manual therapy treatment boosts
posture improvement and low pain reduction more significantly
than low back massage. (6) Three treatments of manipulation improved
posture control and decreased pain in a female patient experiencing low back pain and uneven balance. (7)
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka offers posture-correcting, pain-reducing Sitka
chiropractic care.
