April 21, 2020

Our parents and caregivers warned us about slouching. Our teachers did, too. Undoubtedly, our La Grande chiropractor does now! Did we or do we heed their advice? Not likely when we were young and a very few of us who are older and wiser now. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC accepts and welcomes slouchers and poor posture folks. Come to Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC for La Grande back pain relief and neck pain relief from your slouching ways. Leave Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC with tips on how to avoid posture-influenced pain and misery.

SLOUCHING, LIFTING, POOR POSTURE AND PAIN

Slouching posture isn’t good at all, not good for your spine, your health, your mood. Slouching is linked to things like pain, depression, and stress as well as lower levels of general health, emotional well-being, and energy/fatigue. (1) Spinal angles must be abided by which slouching do not do. The pelvic angle, the angle of pelvic tilt, body mass index and thoracic kyphosis angle had a significant role in whether a person experienced back pain or not. (2) Slouching while lifting isn’t good either as it strained disc fibers and raised intradiscal pressure. Consequently, Recent research suggested using a “free posture” that it was neither too kyphotic or lordotic curved. This used both active and passive spine elements in a more balanced manner. (3) This concept of balance makes good sense to chiropractors and their chiropractic patients who are well aware what triggers their back pain episodes.

La Grande CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS CAN LIST THINGS THAT TRIGGER THEIR BACK PAIN

Back pain sufferers can explain to us chiropractors what they think initiates their pain. Active movements (35%), static postures (28.1%), overdoing a task (5.3%), biomechanical issues, lack of exercise, work and medications top the list. Some La Grande back pain sufferers will concur that even nonbiomedical matters like psychological state/stress/anxiety, weather, sleep, diet and fatigue may trigger back pain. (4) Your La Grande chiropractor is aware of how helpful our La Grande back pain patients’ understanding of their pain helps them recover. Knowledge like this plus a tool can make great outcomes!

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOUCHING FOR BETTER POSTURE

Could today’s tech-y gadgets help with posture? Possibly, it may help quite a bit!  As with anything in life, feedback is helpful; feedback changes habits. In a recent study of feedback on posture using a wearable feedback device just 15 minutes a day boosted participants’ reports on physical functioning, emotions, energy/fatigue, confidence, overall stress in addition to neck and back posture compared to a group who didn’t use the device. (1) We – your La Grande chiropractor included – may have the best of intentions to “watch” our posture, but in the end, we just are not very good at it on our own! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is here to help.
