How a Chiropractor Can Help You Improve Your Posture
Over time, poor posture can contribute to a variety of health problems. Whether you’re sitting or standing, poor posture can cause back and neck pain, joint pain and degeneration, nerve pain, stiffness, headaches, heartburn and digestive issues, and circulation and breathing problems. At Destination Wellness Center, Dr. Richard Allen offers posture correction in Manalapan, NJ. Here is a look at how he can help you improve your posture and your health.
Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Allen will assess the alignment of your spine and identify misalignments and dysfunction that could be contributing to poor posture. He will use precise, gentle adjustments to realign your spine and relieve pressure on your nerves and muscles. This allows your body to naturally return to a more balanced posture.
Custom Orthotics
Foot pain and foot conditions can affect your posture. Dr. Allen may recommend custom orthotics to correct biomechanical foot issues and improve your posture and comfort. Orthotics can be used to treat foot deformities, ankle instability, arthritis, flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, and other conditions.
Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches
Dr. Allen will instruct you on therapeutic exercises and stretches that you can do at home to improve your core strength and your posture. Exercises and stretches can strengthen and lengthen the muscles that support your spine, making it easier for you to maintain proper posture while working, relaxing at home, working out, and sleeping. Strengthening exercises can also correct imbalances that could be causing poor posture.
Weight Loss and Nutrition
If you are overweight, you have added stress on your spine and joints. Over time, that can cause wear and tear and degradation. Poor posture can speed up this process, and spine and joint degradation can make your posture even worse. Dr. Allen can assess your diet and lifestyle and help you make healthy choices that lead to sustainable weight loss and improved nutrition and overall health.
