Postural Correction in Essendon
Chiropractic postural correction involves the assessment and adjustment of the spine and related structures to improve posture.
Posture Assessment
Chiropractors assess a patient’s posture to identify misalignments or abnormalities in the spine. This often involves observing the standing, sitting, and walking posture of the patient.
A 3D posture view program or X ray imaging may be used to assess abnormal curvatures, possible anomalies and previous damage to the spine.
Spinal Adjustment
Using manual techniques or specialized tools, chiropractors perform adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine. These adjustments aim to restore proper alignment and function of the vertebrae.
Muscle and Joint Function
Chiropractors may also work on improving muscle balance and joint function around the spine. This can involve exercises, stretches, or recommendations for ergonomic changes in daily activities.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Patients are often educated about the importance of maintaining good posture and given advice on how to improve posture during daily activities, such as sitting at a desk or lifting objects. A custom exercise program is given to help the patient to improve their posture in their own time.
Orthopaedic Supports and Posture Braces
Your Chiropractor will assist you to use braces and supports to help improve your posture and change your habits. Improved posture through chiropractic care may lead to reduced pain, improved mobility, better balance, and overall enhanced quality of life.
Changing posture is a process that requires effort both from the chiropractor and the patient. It is not something that will happen overnight. This process may take between 6 weeks and 20 weeks. Often scans and imaging will be reviewed after 3 months to determine if further treatments are required.
It’s important to note that chiropractic care is a complementary health approach and its effectiveness can vary depending on individual circumstances. As with any medical or health-related treatment, it’s advisable to consult with qualified chiropractors and discuss any concerns or questions you may have about chiropractic postural correction.
