Basalt CO Chiropractic Doctor Offers Postural Correction Therapy

By Carlene Eriksson


Good posture is important to your appearance. It can also be important to retaining a healthy, pain-free existence throughout your life. Posture that is lacking can cause aches, dysfunction and in some cases, major pain. A leading Aspen CO wellness chiropractor focuses practice on achieving and maintaining good posture in those who follow the dictates of wellness care.

Good posture involves more that standing up straight. The position of a persons body in relation to surrounding space is another indication. It is also a type of body language. This non-verbal language reflects a good attitude and self-confidence.

A well balanced skeleton is protective of the internal organs and general structure of the body. It never, unlike the unbalanced one, it helps the individual to avoid injury. When balance is maintained, the joints are positioned to cause no stress on the body.

Poor posture may be structural or positional. When it is structural it is caused by an abnormal anatomy. If it is positional, it is due to something the person is doing wrong.

Anatomical abnormalities may be caused by joints that are not in the right position. That is one result of poor posture, called structural. If it is positional it is due to something the client does.

Your first appointment with the chiropractor will be spent evaluating your posture. You will demonstrate how you sit, stand and walk across the room. You may have poor posture in any these exhibitions.

Your spine is examined to detect any abnormalities. Your arms, legs and waist are measured. You are evaluated for flexibility and muscular strength. The measurements are compared to normal averages.

Your spine is observed and palpated. Flexibility is assessed. Limbs and waist are measured. The strength of the muscles is also assessed.

Following the exam a program of care will be formulated. It may include manipulation, heat applications and massage. Exercises to strengthen muscles, ligaments, bones and nerves may be recommended to do at home.
