Whether it be your parents, loved ones, or friends it is likely that someone has told you "don't slump," "stand up straight," or “watch your posture.” While it may be annoying to hear this repeated over and over, years of bad posture can have a lasting impact on your overall health. How you sit in a chair while in school or ran on the basketball court can have a huge impact on how you do those activities now. Fixing bad posture can be a challenge, but with the help of a qualified and experienced chiropractor, posture correction is possible. At Salkin Family Chiropractic in New York, NY, Dr. David Salkin takes the time to treat his patients holistically and recommends treatment options that allow your body to heal naturally without aggressive treatment options.
Good posture will achieve immediate benefits because it will make you appear taller, healthier, and even more confident. While these benefits are visual, improving your posture also has a number of other benefits that enable a pain-free lifestyle such as properly aligning bones and joints, reduced stress on joints, improved mood, less risk of back injury, and much more. A chiropractor can help correct bad posture by asking questions that assess your lifestyle and what has contributed to your need for posture correction. Next, a thorough examination will be done to identify the cause of your posture issues and lend in the establishment of a treatment plan. Once a treatment plan has been determined, your chiropractor will likely start with slight back adjustments that result in slight joint movements that enable better posture.
