Support for Poor Posture in Joondalup & Yanchep
Our team at Biotune Chiropractic is committed to supporting your overall wellbeing. Chiropractic care may help manage symptoms associated with musculoskeletal conditions. In today’s digital age, many people spend extended time using mobile devices, computers, or tablets, which can contribute to poor posture across all age groups.
How Poor Posture Develops
Poor posture can begin early in life and often results from daily activities and habits. Factors such as occupation, sports, and lifestyle can influence posture. Prolonged stress or strain, especially related to work, may increase the likelihood of experiencing discomfort in areas such as the neck and shoulders.
Poor posture often involves muscle imbalances, including muscles that become tight, shortened, lengthened, or weakened. Regardless of how posture issues develop, we have the skills and experience to assess and assist you.
Recognising Poor Posture
Poor posture doesn’t always mean slumping forward. Since body types and alignment vary between individuals, what is correct posture for one person might differ for another. Poor posture often relates to musculoskeletal changes in the neck, upper back, and lower back.
Some common signs include:
- A forward-tilted pelvis
- Rounded shoulders
- A protruding neck and chin
- Hump at base of neck
Contributing Factors to Poor Posture
A forward pelvis may be caused by an exaggerated curve in the lower back, which can affect the position of abdominal organs. Rounded shoulders and neck posture issues may result from excessive curvature in the neck or mid-back.
Extended periods of sitting, whether at a desk, during travel, or at home, may worsen posture. Taking regular breaks to move can help reduce this effect. Pre-existing injuries, such as a disc bulge, may make maintaining good posture more challenging.
Starting Your Care
Your care begins with a thorough examination. During your first appointment, we will conduct a physical evaluation and review your health history to understand your needs. If chiropractic care is appropriate, we can perform adjustments aimed at improving joint function, including areas that may be compensating for your symptoms.
