Basalt CO Chiropractic Doctor Offers Postural Correction Therapy

By Carlene Eriksson


Good posture is important to your appearance. It can also be important to retaining a healthy, pain-free existence throughout your life. Posture that is lacking can cause aches, dysfunction and in some cases, major pain. A leading Aspen CO wellness chiropractor focuses practice on achieving and maintaining good posture in those who follow the dictates of wellness care.

Standing up straight is not the only thing that constitutes good posture. It is also the position of your body in relation to the area around you. As a form of nonverbal language it shows self-confidence and a good attitude.

When the skeleton is in balance, it is protective. Good balance is never responsible for injury or a tendency towards deformity. The joints are in the best position for causing the least amount of stress on the human body.

If your muscles are forced to compensate for joints that are not in the right position, it will cause stress on the muscles. Wear on the joints is damaging. Tension in the muscles does nothing to maintain a healthy spine.

Poor posture may be put into one of two categories. It may be structural, which is due to anatomical irregularities. If it is positional, it can be attributed to the individual in some way.

That can be the source of back, knee or pelvic joint problems. Neck pain, hurting in the upper back and headaches are possible. Even a condition as serious as a respiratory abnormality can result from poor posture.

Your first appointment is going to be spent evaluating your posture. You will show how you stand, sit and walk. You will be observed walking across the room.

Your spine is looked at and palpated to detect any spinal abnormalities. The length of your limbs and your waistline will be measured. Muscles are tested for strength. Your flexibility is assessed.

After the exam is complete, the chiropractor will be ready to devise the best care program for you. Spinal adjustments, applications of heat and massage may be used. An exercise program may be created for you.
