“How Poor Posture Contributes To Back Pain.”
Whenyourspine isnot inproperalignment, themuscles, ligamentsand 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 frompoorposture.However,withgoodposture, thespine is inproper alignment and the shock absorbing discs are not as subject to injury. Oftenwithpoorposture,thespinewillbecomefixed inanabnormalposition.This leads to the constriction of blood vessels and nerves over time. Furthermore, this causes problems with the joints, discs and muscles. It is important to takecareofyourspine.Goodpostureeliminatesmanyof the health problems that can develop when the spine has an unhealthy posture. Since you perform many 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.
