Castro Valley Chiropractic Helps With Perfect Posture

You may think having a perfect posture won’t necessarily affect your overall health but your trusted Castro Valley chiropractic Clinic would tell you otherwise. He/she will blow your mind by how poor posture could affect your body.

Our spine takes a lot of beating from our day to day activities. It absorbs a lot of the pressure from other parts of the body when we move around. If the spine won’t take the pressure from other body parts such as our hands, neck and shoulders then our body won’t be erect when we walk, sit, stand and do other things.  Also, without our spine’s flexibility, we can’t keep our balance as we do different movements.

The human body was created perfectly. This is true because all our body parts are situated efficiently so they can interact with each other and with gravity. Our body can heal itself and adjust to the many outer forces that it is exposed to. When it can optimally heal itself then we feel more youthful and we have more energy. This is why perfect posture is important. Your Castro Valley chiropractor will explain how amazing you’ll feel just by maintaining a perfect posture.

So, what are the effects of poor posture to our body? Well, if we have poor posture then our spinal vertebrae would misalign and therefore would subluxate.  The arches, the lumbar and the cervical lordosis are also necessary and our spine relies much on them. With poor posture, these arches would be nonexistent and that means our spine won’t have anything to absorb the shock to our back.   As an effect, the person feels lower back pain and neck pain and eventually this will lead to many problems such as herniated discs, vertebral osteoarthritis and much more. Also, with poor posture you may experience some difficulty with your breathing because the rib cage expansion would also be affected. Add to all these, pain in the back, shoulders and neck! Now you can just imagine how vital maintaining perfect posture is in keeping our bodies healthy and comfortable.

If you already have the habit of walking, standing, sitting, sleeping and moving with poor posture there’s no need to worry as there’s still a way to revert this. You can start by deciding to really change your posture and maintaining it.  Your Castro Valley chiropractor would be there to help you by giving you tips on how to start changing your posture. It won’t be easy at first but in no time you’ll get the hang of it.  Exercises for muscle strengthening would help in improving your posture. Your spine will get supported by the muscles which would make it easier to keep it in the right position therefore good posture is easily maintained.

Don’t expect that this is going to be a quick process because it won’t be. You just need to keep yourself aware that you should correct your posture and practice it regularly to heart. Without a lifestyle change, achieving a perfect posture would be next to impossible. Your Castro Valley chiropractor would be there to assist you so you would achieve that perfect posture your body needs!
