Postural Syndrome Treatment in Chiropractic-Works & Wellness Clinic 

Here at The Chiropractic-Works and Wellness Clinic, we understand the frustrations that postural syndrome can pose to your lifestyle. Beyond the immediate discomfort, it's crucial to understand that poor posture may contribute to various conditions, including spinal issues in the neck, nerve irritation, and muscle spasms resulting from inadequate protective posture. Left unaddressed, these issues can mimic conditions related to irritated nerves, such as shoulder conditions.

Understanding the interconnected nature of postural problems and their potential impact on different areas of your body, our dedicated spine consultants conduct thorough assessments. Our goal is to identify the root causes of your postural-related pain through a comprehensive evaluation, allowing us to provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend a tailored treatment plan.

Postural Syndrome & Your Spine

Good posture is not only about our appearance, but the avoidance of potential irritations down the track from unnecessary pressure on the spine.Postural syndrome involves musculoskeletal pain linked to poor posture, impacting the spine in various ways:

• Muscle Imbalance: Poor posture leads to muscle imbalances affecting the spine's alignment.

• Pressure on Spine: Incorrect posture increases pressure on the spine, contributing to discomfort.

• Changes in Spinal Curvature: Prolonged poor posture can alter the spine's natural curves, impacting stability.

• Strain on Supporting Structures: Ligaments and discs supporting the spine may experience increased strain.

• Nerve Compression: Poor posture can lead to nerve compression, causing pain or numbness.

​

Chiropractic care can assess and address these issues, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good posture for overall spinal health. Regular check-ups and posture-improving practices contribute to a healthier and more comfortable spine.

What to expect from a Postural Syndrome Treatment in Chiropractic-Works and Wellness Clinic

During a consultation with us, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your posture to determine any underlying injuries that may be causing your posture syndrome, or if it merely habitual learned behaviour.

We normally treat postural syndrome with a combination of manual therapy – performing spinal adjustments or other manual therapies in conjunction with prescribed exercise and stretches to target the muscles responsible for stabilising your back.
