Poor Posture Pain Relief at Vitality Health Center in White Bear Lake

How a Chiropractor Can Help Fix Bad Posture - Posture is simply the position of the body while sitting or standing, or even lying down. Good posture, called neutral spine, delivers many essential health benefits, including freedom from back pain due to poor posture. But, it can sometimes be challenging to figure out how to fix bad posture and habitually maintain healthy posture without help from a chiropractor or other healthcare provider. Below is a list of things a chiropractor can do to help you fix bad posture.

Why is Good Posture Important? There are many health benefits from good posture and a long list of negative effects of poor posture. For just a few examples, bad posture can impact the functioning of the digestive system, exacerbate depression, increase stress levels, and diminish self-confidence. Just some of the benefits of posture correction include:
  • Eliminates back pain and shoulder pain from bad posture
  • Keeps bones and joints and bones properly aligned
  • Reduces risk of injury due to poor posture
  • Minimizes wear and tear on joints and muscles
  • Minimizes strain on ligaments
  • Improved mood and a general sense of well-being
  • Prevents muscle strains from movement with high-risk posture
  • Conserves body energy by using muscles more efficiently
  • Improves function and long-term health of organs
  • Improves digestion
  • Look healthier, taller, and more self-confident
  • Appearance makes a better impression on others
Causes of Bad Posture - Identifying the causes of posture problems and correcting those enables you to start standing and sitting straighter without the need to keep trying to remind yourself to correct your posture. Some common reasons why people have unhealthy posture include:
  • Tight muscles
  • Weak postural muscles
  • Previous injuries
  • Stress
  • Weight gain
  • Pregnancy
  • Low self-confidence
  • Wearing high-heels frequently in the past
  • History of carrying heavy backpacks
How To Correct Posture with Help From a Chiropractor? In the majority of cases, bad posture can be corrected. Treatment from a licensed chiropractor can help many people restore healthy posture. These are some of the essential methods a chiropractor can use to help you overcome unhealthy posture.
Assessing the Condition  - A few key questions are asked to assess your posture and any effects it has on your daily life, exercise habits, work routines, and recreational activities, and to assess discomfort or pain.
Evaluating Your Posture  - The focus is on identifying the causes resulting in slumping when standing or sitting, uneven shoulders, poor posture of body side(s), back-arching, twisted pelvis, or other poor symmetry.
Working the Soft Tissues - If some muscles are underused or weak, others may tighten, pulling the spine into misalignment. Chiropractors can strengthen and release muscles and correct imbalances.
Making Gentle Adjustments - Chiropractic methods include mild adjustments to the shoulders and slow maneuvers to help increase movement of the joints, relieve tension in the surrounding muscles, and improve posture.
Rehabilitative Stretching - A chiropractor uses therapeutic stretching and muscle relaxing exercises to destress tense muscles, ease the tension that contributes to unhealthy posture, and strengthen muscles.
Your Posture and Your Life - Posture is something most people don’t think about, but poor posture can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Whatever the cause of a posture problem, if you’re experiencing back pain, or other specific issues, your daily life can probably be substantially improved. Consult with a licensed chiropractor for advice on how to fix posture and treatment to remedy unhealthy posture as soon as possible!

Get Regular Chiropractic Adjustments - Chiropractic Adjustments at Vitality Health Center in White Bear Lake can help correct poor posture, but even if you are working on it yourself it is important to get regular chiropractic care. There are several reasons for this. First, your chiropractor can make adjustments to your spine, providing you with a much wider range of motion and better mobility. Your chiropractor can also recommend exercises for you and show you how to do them properly. If you have weight issues he or she can provide you with advice on diet and lifestyle changes. Taking advantage of the whole body wellness that chiropractic offers will not only improve your posture, it will improve your life.

Undergoing chiropractic treatment may potentially help correct poor posture, especially if your poor posture is caused by too much sitting. A 2017 case studyTrusted Source examined the effect of chiropractic treatment on a 27-year-old woman suffering from back pain, neck pain, and headaches caused by hyperkyphosis posture. Hyperkyphosis is commonly known as a hunchback posture. After 30 treatments over 6 months, she showed a significant improvement in her posture and pain relief in both her head and neck.

Hyperkyphosis is a spinal deformity causing a forward-curved posture of the upper back (thoracic spine). Posture is the way you position your body. Posture changes throughout the day depending on what you are doing and how long you have been doing it. Sometimes, a person's posture can cause the upper back curvature to become excessive and stiff. When this happens, it can be difficult to reverse. Sometimes called "humpback," "round back," or "dowager’s hump,” this condition can occur at any age. Most often, the curvature begins to increase in people over age 40 and continues as they age. Around 20% to 40% of older adults — both men and women — will develop the condition.

Hyperkyphosis help

  • Address functional limitations.
  • Build strength.
  • Improve balance


Age-related postural hyperkyphotic is an exaggerated anterior curvature of the thoracic spine, sometimes referred to as Dowager’s hump or gibbous deformity. This condition impairs mobility and increases the risk of falls and fractures.26 The natural history of hyperkyphotic is not firmly established. Hyperkyphotic may develop from either muscle weakness and degenerative disc disease, leading to vertebral fractures and worsening hyperkyphotic, or from initial vertebral fractures that precipitate its development.


It is also possible that different individuals may develop the same magnitude of hyperkyphotic from different processes, some from vertebral fractures and others from muscle weakness, degenerative disc disease, or other genetically determined processes. Regardless, there are significant negative consequences of hyperkyphotic, and early intervention and treatment of hyperkyphotic could have important clinical and public health benefits.
