A chiropractor can help you many ways but there are things you can do yourself as well to improve your posture. Daily work activities can be a problem and hurt the alignment of your back. However, Mississauga Chiropractor , when you improve your posture through the techniques below you will feel better, making your chiropractic re-adjustment much more efficient for your spinal health.
Tip 1
Your car head-rest has that name for a reason, your head should actually touch it. Many people recline their car seat too much, so they are forced to bring their head forward to see the road. Some may think it is looks cooler to slouch, but how cool is chronic neck pain and headaches. Bring the back of your car seat up to no more than a 15 degree recline. Sit with your head touching your head rest, adjust your mirrors to the correct spot and stick with it.
Tip 2
Check your pillows. Many people, especially if their head tends to be forward, sleep with a pillow that pushes them forward, or even worse they sleep with more than one pillow. Have a loved one or friend look at you in your sleeping position, your head should be aligned with your shoulders, not in front of them.
Tip 3
Bring your office or home computer up to eye level. If you use a laptop, get one of the ergonomic wedges that make it a little higher. Take frequent posture breaks, if you find yourself looking down while you work. Set your phone or computer to remind you to take a 2 minutes break to stretch every 20 minutes.
In conclusion doing the preceding tips will improve your posture and your chiropractors treatments will much better benefit because of this. The truth is posture is the main cause of spinal pain and what we call back pain. Improve your posture and your back pain will be improved.
