Good
posture is a good habit that contributes to the well-being of the
individual. At Advantage
Chiropractic and Sports Rehab every patient is given a thorough postural
screening. The structure and function of the body provides all the
potentialities for attaining and maintaining good posture. Faulty posture is
not only an aesthetic problem but can lead to pain and even disability.
Many
common medical conditions can be associated with faulty body mechanics. Conditions such as low back pain, neck
pain, musculoskeletal problems and athletic performance can be affected by poor
posture.
Living
in highly specialized society our bodies are subjected to a high incidence of
static and dynamic forces, the cumulative effect of repetitive patterns at
work, school and home all contribute to postural stresses placed on the body.
Our
patients are educated in the mechanics of the body and its response to every
day stresses. After a thorough
examination a specific treatment plan is developed to restore and preserve good
body mechanics. The doctor and his therapists initially will do a comprehensive
biomechanics evaluation and investigate any underlying influences on the patient’s
posture. Once complete, a detailed
program of correction and prevention is initiated.
