Can a Chiropractor Fix Your Posture?
Whether you sit at a desk all day, have a physically demanding job, or are retired and spend a lot of time enjoying leisure activities, you are at risk of developing poor posture. Without correction, poor posture can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain and increase your risk of breathing issues, digestive issues, joint problems, and neurological issues. At Marsh Chiropractic and Wellness Center, Dr. Scott Marsh can use digital postural analysis in Maryville, TN, to create a posture correction plan that includes chiropractic care, instrument adjustments, and corrective rehabilitation. Here is a look at how these chiropractic therapies can improve your posture.
Digital Postural Analysis
Dr. Marsh can use digital postural analysis to assess your posture. He will take digital images of you standing and then use a specialized computer program to analyze your spinal formation and posture. This allows him to identify spinal imbalances, misalignments, and areas of stress. He will use this data to create a personalized posture correction plan.
Instrument Adjustments
Instrument adjustments are chiropractic adjustments that use a handheld device to deliver precise, gentle, and controlled adjustments of the joint and spine. Dr. Marsh will use instrument adjustments to treat the underlying cause of your poor posture and relieve chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, headaches, joint pain, and other complications.
Corrective Rehabilitation
Corrective rehabilitation is a method of physical therapy that focuses on targeted exercises and stretches that strengthen core muscles. Your core muscles support good posture, stabilize the spine, and facilitate movement. Dr. Marsh will create a personalized plan that stretches out tight muscles and makes them more limber and flexible to address and correct poor postural alignment.
