At Kosak Chiropractic, we understand that proper posture is key to total body wellness, comfort, mobility, and function. Learn more about how our chiropractor, Dr. Michael Wilson, helps tons of patients in Fairfield, CA avoid pain and get back to optimal health.
Why does poor posture cause pain?
When everything is working properly, your spine keeps your extremities, ribcage, and head centered. This means no one muscle or joint is absorbing too much load, and your body can work like a well-oiled machine. If one piece of the puzzle is out of position, the individual parts can break and eventually give way.
Since our body will find the path of least resistance to do what we tell it to do, with poor posture, that often means movement compensation. These compensations can cause your spine, hips, shoulders, or more to move out of their normal position.
From there, consistent spinal misalignment can lead to:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Migraines
- Sleep problems
- Slipped or herniated discs
- Acute injury during exercise
- …and other painful conditions
How to get better posture to avoid pain
Whether your poor posture comes from sitting at a desk all day, overly tight muscles, or exercise/sports-related issues, the good news is there’s a way to fix it. Depending on your specific postural compensations, it will likely take some time to re-train the body to move properly. However, patients in Fairfield, CA have experienced feeling better after just one treatment.
Dr. Wilson will start with a postural screening to isolate your specific issues, and then you’ll formulate a long-term plan to reduce pain through better posture. Some of our posture-correcting treatments include:
- Massage therapy
- Adjustments and manipulation
- Custom foot orthotics
- Spinal decompression
- Therapeutic exercise
- …and more.
