Chiropractic Rehab & Neurology says start with the basics, use good posture for spinal health in Anthem and North Phoenix

Most of us remember as children being told to sit up straight and not slouch. At the time we didn’t recognize the importance of good posture. After many years of research the evidence is clear: poor posture can lead to many other problems and negatively impact our overall health. Chiropractic Rehab & Neurology shares five reasons people should make using good posture a priority for improving spinal health in Anthem and North Phoenix.

1. How you move, walk, run, and most physical activity is affected by your posture. Improving your posture relieves some of the pressure on your muscles and joints, which in turn preserves energy. You may notice feeling less tired after a long day.
2. Breathing could become easier. A slouched position can have the effect of constricting your airways. There could be added pressure on your lungs if the ribcage is not in the proper position. If you have difficulty catching your breath or experience panic attacks, good posture could help to resolve the symptoms.
3. Gravity creates a pull on all of our muscles and joints, and good posture allows that force to be equalized across the body. Poor posture causes the body to work harder than it should, and could potentially cause damage over time.
4. Using good posture relieves pressure on your internal organs. People experiencing constipation, acid reflux and hernias should consider practicing good posture to determine if it will help alleviate these conditions. Digestion could also benefit from having the back in a straight position.
5. Excessive pressure on the joints wears away connective tissue; the resulting bone-on-bone irritation leads to discomfort and potentially arthritis. The strain of poor posture on the spine increases the probability of an injury, such as a slipped disc or nerve entrapment.
6. Sitting and standing straight adds to your confidence level, creates a feeling of being taller, slimmer, and more youthful. A person who slouches tends to give the impression of being unhappy and introverted.

It’s not too late to correct poor posture.

Local chiropractor in Tramonto, Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, offers suggestions of how often should you get a chiropractic checkup?

Isn’t it funny how when our car needs an oil change every 3000 miles we make sure we do it or that our 15 year roof gets checked at ten years. Some even have their carpet cleaned once every few months just to keep it in good condition. Yet we don’t do the same with the most important possession we have, our bodies. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, your local chiropractic clinic in Tramonto, we would like to share how important it is to have regular chiropractic checkups.

Look at how the work habits in this country's have changed over the last 200 years. We went from working the plains of the old west, into factories producing some of the worlds finest products. Our bodies are in constant motion, walking, running, bending, lifting, reaching, our joints were constantly being lubricated as we moved. As more and more jobs shift overseas and robots are now doing the heavy lifting, more and more workers are moving into offices, sitting and not moving nearly as much so our joints suffer because they are not being lubricating.
 
Getting a chiropractic checkup is important now more than ever before. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology we ask that the first thing you  do is get a thorough spinal exam by a professional chiropractor. We want to measure your spinal range of motion, your spinal functional ability and your individual spinal segments for restrictions and tenderness. We can tell a lot by reviewing this information.
So how often or when should you see your chiropractor? A lot depends on how much degeneration, decay and lack of proper motion a care plan will be created specifically for you. Once you and your chiropractor establish as much proper motion in your spine as possible, a minimum of once a month is a great way to ensure that decay and scar tissue is not building up in your spine.

At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology your health is important to us. It would be great for you to stop by and get to know us before you really need us. That way we will have a headstart on getting you back to good health. Please give us a call so we can set up an appointment for you at 623-587-0277 or visit our website http://www.chirorehabcenter.com.
