Basalt CO Chiropractic Doctor Offers Wellness Care And Postural Correction Therapy

By Carlene Eriksson


Good posture is important to your appearance. It can also be important to retaining a healthy, pain-free existence throughout your life. Posture that is lacking can cause aches, dysfunction and in some cases, major pain. A leading Aspen CO wellness chiropractor focuses practice on achieving and maintaining good posture in those who follow the dictates of wellness care.

Standing up straight is not the only thing that constitutes good posture. It is also the position of your body in relation to the area around you. As a form of nonverbal language it shows self-confidence and a good attitude.

When the skeleton is in balance, it is protective. Good balance is never responsible for injury or a tendency towards deformity. The joints are in the best position for causing the least amount of stress on the human body.

If your muscles are forced to compensate for joints that are not in the right position, it will cause stress on the muscles. Wear on the joints is damaging. Tension in the muscles does nothing to maintain a healthy spine.

Anatomical abnormalities may be caused by joints that are not in the right position. That is one result of poor posture, called structural. If it is positional it is due to something the client does.

That can be the source of back, knee or pelvic joint problems. Neck pain, hurting in the upper back and headaches are possible. Even a condition as serious as a respiratory abnormality can result from poor posture.

Your first appointment is going to be spent evaluating your posture. You will show how you stand, sit and walk. You will be observed walking across the room.

A spinal examination includes visual observation, palpation and possibly an x-ray. Your flexibility is evaluated. Your legs and arms will be measured and compared to normal statistics. The strength of your muscles is also measured.

After the examination is complete, a program for your care will be recommended. You may require spinal adjustments, massage and heat applications. In addition you will be given exercises to use at home to strengthen muscles.
