HOWPOOR POSTURE CONTRIBUTES TO BACK PAIN
Chuck Depner was born and raised in Billings, Montana. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and later attended Eastern Washington University where he studied to become a Physical Therapist graduating with a B.S. in 1993. Chuck began his Physical Therapy career as a traveling therapist working back east. He later moved to Spokane and worked for Holy Family in both the outpatient and inpatient therapies. He then moved on to work for Eagle Rehab, which was quickly bought out by HealthSouth. Most recently before coming to Synergy Healthcare in Spokane, WA, Chuck worked for Visiting Nurses Association providing in-home health care. In August, 2009 Chuck joined the staff at Synergy Healthcare as their Clinical Manager and “computer guy”. He specializes in Core Stabilization and joint mobilization techniques, and strain-counter strain venous, arterial, visceral, and neural techniques. In addition to being a therapist, Chuck enjoys hiking, skiing, and skating with his family. Chuck Depner, Physical Therapist When your spine is not in proper alignment, the muscles, ligaments, and joints are all under excessive strain, causing most episodes of back pain. The lower back supports most of the weight of the body and therefore is the most vulnerable to the effects of poor posture. Discs, which provide support between the spinal bones (vertebrae), are also affected by poor posture. However, with good posture, the spine is in proper alignment and the shock absorbing discs are less subject to injury. Often with poor posture, the spine will become fixed in an abnormal position. This leads to the constriction of blood vessels and nerves over time. Furthermore, this causes problems with the joints, discs, andmuscles. It is important to takecareofyourspine.Goodpostureeliminatesmanyof the health problems that can develop when the spine has an unhealthy posture. Since you performmany different movements and positions throughout the day (sitting, standing, bending, stooping, lying down, etc.) it is important to learn how to keep correct posture. Maintaining good posture during the day results in less back pain. When you correct bad posture habits, the new and improved movements tend to become more automatic and require very little effort to maintain. At Synergy Healthcare, we train you on the best way to attain and hold your posture throughout the day. We help you relieve your back pain quickly while improving your posture for maximum long term results!
