Poor Posture and Postural Issues
Poor Posture:
Many patients come to Castle Chiropractic with pain related to poor posture, particularly due to prolonged sitting, computer use, or smartphone overuse. Our chiropractors focus on realigning the spine and strengthening postural muscles, providing ergonomic advice to help prevent postural strain in the future.
Text Neck:
Castle Chiropractic has seen an increase in cases of "text neck," a condition caused by looking down at digital devices for extended periods. We help relieve neck pain and correct forward head posture through a combination of chiropractic adjustments and posture exercises, ensuring long-term spinal health.
Symptoms of poor posture and postural issues can be:
Chronic Discomfort:
Patients may experience persistent pain in the back, neck, or shoulders, exacerbated by sitting or standing for extended periods.
Muscle Fatigue:
Ongoing strain can lead to feelings of exhaustion or tiredness in the muscles, often requiring frequent stretching or movement for relief.
Headaches:
Tension headaches that develop as a result of muscle strain and tightness in the neck and upper back.
Visible Misalignment:
Changes in posture, such as rounded shoulders, forward head posture, or an exaggerated lumbar curve, may be observed.
