Good posture can be successfully acquired only when the
entire mechanism of the body is under perfect control. - Joseph Pilates
No wonder we were often told
to stand up straight! Posture matters. Richmond back pain patients know this. Johnson Chiropractic makes
certain that they do! Poor posture and back pain often
go together. Johnson Chiropractic treats poor posture and back pain
together. Johnson Chiropractic and our Richmond chiropractic patients experience improvement in one often results in improvement in
the other.
POSTURE AND Richmond BACK PAIN
Many factors play
a role in how posture and Richmond back pain are
linked. The body mechanism really
is at work as Pilates says. Researchers write
that poor posture is reported to change
joint position and produce pain, like back pain. Musculoskeletal
back pain is bettered when postural issues are addressed.
(1) Recent research reports that even plantar heel pain patients experience more low back pain as well as higher rates of low
back pain disability because of decreased foot and
ankle function. (2) If one leg is shorter than the other, hip pain
is known to occur on the longer leg side.
Sciatica (leg pain) and disc protrusion do as well. (3,4,5) Leg
length inequality affects posture and may produce
back pain. Johnson Chiropractic takes care of this
myriad of issues with chiropractic care options like spinal
manipulation, exercise and occasionally orthotic lifts for
all of our Richmond
back pain patients.
TREATMENT FOR POSTURE RELATED BACK PAIN
A basis of the Richmond chiropractic
treatment plan for patients with Richmond back pain and postural
issues is frequently manual therapy spinal manipulation (after
a full examination, of course!). Johnson Chiropractic chooses
this option as spinal research presents that it
is valuable together with
posture correction. Manual therapy treatment boosts
posture improvement and low pain reduction more significantly
than low back massage. (6) Three treatments of manipulation improved
posture control and reduced pain in a female patient experiencing low back pain and uneven balance. (7)
Johnson Chiropractic offers posture-correcting, pain-reducing Richmond
chiropractic care.
