NRG: How Posture Affects Back & Neck Pain

“The Most Vulnerable Part Of Your Body Is Your Back.” POOR POSTURE CONTRIBUTES TO BACK PAIN

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,whichprovidesupportbetween thespinalbones (vertebrae),arealso affected from poor posture. However, with good posture, the spine is in properalignmentand theshockabsorbingdiscsarenotassubject 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.
