5 Tips to Straighten Up Your Posture

5 Tips to Straighten Up Your Posture

May is National Correct Posture Month! Good posture is essential for a healthy body and can help you avoid chronic pain and injuries. Here are some of our favorite tips for maintaining proper posture throughout the day.

1. Sit up straight

Sitting is a position we spend a lot of time in, whether at work, in the car, or at home. Sitting up straight is one of the most important things you can do to improve your posture. Ensure your shoulders are relaxed and your feet are flat on the ground. Keep your hips pushed back as far as possible in the chair and avoid slouching forward.

2. Stand tall

Standing is another position we spend a lot of time in, and it’s essential for maintaining good posture. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on both feet and avoid locking your knees. Keep your shoulders back and down and your head level. If you’re having trouble standing for long periods, try shifting your weight from one foot to the other or take breaks to sit down and rest.

3. Keep your screen at eye level

Keeping your screen at eye level is vital if you spend a lot of time working on a computer or using a smartphone. This will help prevent neck strain and headaches. Adjust your monitor or use a phone holder to keep your device at a comfortable height.

4. Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can help improve your posture by strengthening your core muscles. Strong core muscles help support your spine and keep it neutral. Try incorporating exercises like planks, bridges, and bird dogs into your workout routine.

5. Stretch regularly

Stretching can also help improve your posture by releasing muscle tension. Tight muscles can pull your body out of alignment, leading to poor posture. Try incorporating chest stretches (pectorals), hip flexor stretches, and shoulder rolls into your daily routine.

Maintaining good posture is crucial for a healthy body. By following these suggestions, you can lead a healthier and pain-free life. However, please call our office if you experience back or neck discomfort. We are here to help!

5 Expert Tips to Keep Stress at Bay

April marks National Stress Awareness Month, a time to reflect on how stress can impact every aspect of our lives. Stress can trigger muscle tension, headaches, and back pain, ultimately decreasing productivity and diminishing your quality of life. Here are our five tips to prevent stress.

1. Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice that involves being present and fully engaged in the moment. This can help you become more aware of your stress triggers and how you react to them. By being mindful, you can learn to respond to stressors more calmly and productively.

2. Get Enough Sleep

Lack of sleep can contribute to stress and make it harder to manage. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night and establish a regular sleep schedule to help your body get into a routine.

3. Stay Active

Exercise can help reduce stress by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it’s jogging, yoga, or swimming, and make it a regular part of your routine.

4. Eat a Balanced Diet

Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help your body better cope with stress. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables, and grass-fed proteins in your meals, and limit your intake of processed foods and sugary drinks.

5. See a Chiropractor

Chiropractic care can help reduce muscle tension and improve spinal function, which can help alleviate stress-related symptoms like headaches and back pain. Taking care of your body can also help improve your overall well-being and decrease your risk of developing chronic health problems.

Stress is a part of life, but it’s essential to take steps to manage it before it takes a toll on your health. Let’s make this National Stress Awareness Month a time to focus on self-care and stress management! Check out this infographic for more helpful tips!

Rehabilitative Exercise and Chiropractic Care

Patients, Friends, and Family:

Please view my recent presentation on rehabilitative exercise for the spine and low back and it’s role in chiropractic care.  There are seven short videos.  Please follow this link in Facebook for the first video.

Neck and Back pain

Friends and Patients:

Thank you for reading my new Health Newsletter email! Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a series of health tips that I will be providing you several times a month. Many of you have seen this picture in my office before.
When I show it to you during an examination it usually means that you are in pain and we are trying to figure out what happened. There are many causes of neck and low back pain, but typically a sprain injury or tearing of a ligament is the most common cause.
Just like sprain and ankle, the neck and back holding elements are subject to traumatic and overuse forces that cause pain, swelling, spasm and inability to function as normal.

Scar Tissue Formation:

Not responding to the injury with appropriate treatment can lead to scar tissue formation.
Look at those giant cross-bridges! The scar tissue in the above picture is ineffective in providing stability for the normal forces expressed on a joint. Future re-injury risk is high in this scenario!

Treatment at Corrado Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center, LLC, consists initially of passive care with modalities and adjustments for proper re-establishment of healing tissues, improved motion from manipulation and stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the joints to provide neurological stimulation to correct the timing, patterning, and coordination of muscles that support the injured joint. We all feel that we are not moving correctly when we are in pain! Treatment works to alleviate this! Exercise and rehabilitation, after there has been a decrease in pain, is provided to help build endurance of Type 1 spinal muscles and again to stimulate mechanoreceptors with balance exercises for improved neurological control.

Happy to help.

We are happy to help you here at Corrado Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center, LLC, with your injuries and concerns.  Feel free to call us any time to set up and appointment or consultation at (856)596-0086 or visit our website at www.marltonchiropractor.com.
