Neck Pain Due to Bad Posture? Chiropractic Can Help.
Poor posture can increase your risk of aches and pains, injury, and muscle, nerve, and spine damage. At Venice Spine and Disc, our chiropractor Dr. Michael Grocholski can treat your back or neck pain in Venice, FL, through chiropractic care and posture correction.
What Is the Connection Between Poor Posture and Neck Pain?
Poor posture, particularly when sitting at a desk or having your head tilted forward, puts added strain on the muscles, joints, and vertebrae in the neck. When you are constantly slouching, you’re putting extra pressure on your spine, nerves, and muscles, which can degenerate or injure them. Over time, you may experience cervical spine injury or nerve damage, leading to neck pain and stiffness, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness, and loss of range of motion of your neck.
Dangers of Poor Posture
Chronic poor posture can cause a wide range of health issues, including:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Decreased flexibility and range of motion
- Poor circulation
- Difficulty breathing
- Digestive problems
- Nerve compression or irritation
- Nerve damage
- Muscle and joint pain
- Spinal misalignment
- Disc degeneration
Why Visit a Chiropractor for Neck Pain?
Dr. Grocholski and his team can determine the underlying cause of your neck pain. He can run diagnostic testing, do a full examination, and do a spine and posture assessment to evaluate the alignment of your spine. All his treatment options are all-natural and drug-free, and he will take the time to fully understand your symptoms and how they are affecting your life in order to create a fully individualized treatment plan. He can offer advice on workplace ergonomics, posture correction, and lifestyle modification to help you find lasting relief from aches and pains.
How to Improve Your Posture for Lasting Pain Relief
The best ways to improve your posture to relieve neck pain and other aches and pains are:
- When sitting at a desk, keep your back flat against the back of your chair and your feet flat on the floor with your knees tilted slightly downward. Keep your shoulders straight and level, and your head aligned with your shoulders.
- Exercise regularly, focusing on exercises that strengthen your core muscles, stretch your shoulders and back, and improve your flexibility
- Make your workstation or study area more ergonomic by using an adjustable chair, wrist rest, monitor stands, and ergonomic keyboard
