Why posture matters
Hours at a desk, on a phone, in a truck or on a tractor all pull the body forward. The head drifts out over the shoulders, the upper back rounds and the lower back takes the strain. Every inch your head moves forward adds load to the muscles in your neck and upper back.
Correcting posture takes the pressure off those joints and muscles, which is why it is one of the most effective ways to keep neck pain, back pain and headaches from coming back.
How Dr. Jack approaches it
- Posture assessment. A look at how you stand, sit and move, and where the load is ending up.
- Structural correction. Methods drawn from Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) and Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) that focus on restoring the spine's normal curves, not just relieving pain.
- Corrective exercises. A short list of exercises and stretches, usually a few minutes a day, chosen for your body and your problem.
- Lifestyle counseling. Practical changes to your workstation, sleep position, lifting and daily habits.
Small changes, lasting results
You will not leave with a binder of exercises you never do. Dr. Jack keeps home care short and specific so it actually gets done, and he updates it as you improve.
