“Stand up straight!” Superb recommendation. We’ve all been told this at some point, but do we listen? Hardly, notably in today’s word of computers and hand-held devices that have us hunched over all the time. https://cirrusabs.teamwork.com/index.cfm#tasks/8925875 Chiropractic Solutions supplies a couple explanations for bad posture and some reasons to keep good posture. We chiropractors are known for encouraging good posture!
RESULTS OF POOR POSTURE
Decrease in Bone Mineral Density – Spinal posture has been discovered to influence bone density. Increases in thoracic spine or lumbar spine (mid and lower back) curvature exhibit local bone mineral density decreases in both pre- and post-menopausal women. (1) https://cirrusabs.teamwork.com/index.cfm#tasks/8925875 Chiropractic Solutions has some nutrition tips to maintain and build your bone density.- Poorer Vision - Scoliosis subjects may find that their vision is affected due to a dysfunction of the nerve pathways in the brain stem. (2) Now, https://cirrusabs.teamwork.com/index.cfm#tasks/8925875 Chiropractic Solutions isn’t out to fix your scoliosis but rather to keep it flexible and mobile and in as good a condition as possible.
- Disc Herniation into the Concavity of the Curve - The occurrence of cervical spine (neck) disc herniation was found to be at the C6-7 level on the right side in 3 cases and in 19 cases on the left side. This may also suggest the importance of maintaining healthy spine posture so as to avoid such disc herniation with its resultant neck and arm pain. (3) So, hold your head up and straight!
Finally, a study of 804 65 to 94 year old people found that
the most important factor in their being able to perform activities of daily living was the curvature of their thoracic, lumbar and pelvic spines. That is, if these curves were normal in their forward and backward angulations, these 65 to 94 year olds were set to continue doing their activities of daily living.
