Posture Correction Asheville

While you’re reading this article are you sitting in an odd position or are you the victim of longer hours spent sitting at your desk at work? When you have poor posture, there is ongoing stress on your spine, joints and muscles and over time, they will become limited, painful and stiff. Posture Correction at Blue Ridge Chiropractic is not simply about treating the symptoms, it is about correcting the root cause at the structural level.

Dr. Mark has been helping his patients for over 20 years to become more active without depending on medicine and surgery. Being a certified biophysics chiropractor, he uses an extensive approach to correct your spinal positioning, instead of building a generic plan.

How Posture Correction at Blue Ridge Chiropractic Help You?

Posture correction is more than just maintaining an erect position all the time. It is a part of a detailed program that retrains the body to move with less strain:

• Improves spinal alignment to alleviate the uneven pressure that brings about discomfort and wear.
• Muscles that have tension due to sitting, standing, or working in one position during the day are relaxed.
• Restores normal movement patterns; bending, turning and reaching are natural.
• Helps maintain long-term stability so that improvements are not lost.

The goal is to bring change for the long-term, not a short-term reminder to sit upright. Any structural correction will allow your body to develop good posture.

What conditions can be treated with posture correction?

Surprisingly, poor posture is a leading cause of several painful conditions. When people seek treatment for posture correction, it comes to them as a surprise how they were dealing with it all wrong. Dr. Mark tailors each plan to meet your needs & alignment:

You might be feeling it in one spot; the beginning is in the posture of your spine, shoulders and head throughout the day.

When should you book an appointment for posture correction?

Pain isn't the only evidence that you need to pay attention to your posture. Changes happen over time, and may not be obvious until it begins to impact how you feel. If you have any of these and you think it's time to consider posture correction, then you may want to learn more:

• A hunched or forward head or shoulders, particularly due to sitting at a computer.
• Every day neck & upper-back tension that returns.
• Headaches start on the left side of your head.
• Low back pain from prolonged sitting/standing.
• Fatigue (i.e. soreness) at the end of the day.

Although many of these issues may seem difficult to resolve, the solution is often simpler and faster, rather than difficult and time-consuming. If they are not solved early they worsen the problem, affecting more joints.

Why choose Dr. Mark for posture correction?

Dr. Mark doesn't consider posture to be a 'set and forget' situation. In each of his plans, there is no guesswork involved; he performs a thorough evaluation of the position of the spine and joints. The patients of Asheville chiropractic turn to him for chiropractic treatments because he doesn't look at you in the face week-by-week for symptoms; he corrects what is bringing you out of line.

What Is The Best Way to Include Posture Correction As Part of Your Recovery Plan?

Posture work alone works wonders but can be just as effective with other treatments such as Chiropractic Adjustments, Massage Therapy & an Injury Chiropractic care. Adjustments restore correct joint movement, massage releases tight muscles that keep you in poor positions and all help keep your alignment constant and lasting.
