Effects Poor Posture Has On Health

Worsens Shoulder And Back Pain

Individuals with pre-existing pain may find poor posture worsens shoulder and back pain. The body is designed to carry its weight evenly distributed throughout the spine. However, when the spine is curved due to poor posture, it puts extra pressure on other areas not equipped to carry the weight, resulting in pain and discomfort ranging from minor to severe. Often times this weight will be redistributed to the lower back and shoulders. Many patients will find by focusing on proper posture and using chiropractic treatment to realign the spine, their back pain will greatly decrease and in some cases diminish altogether.
