Posture Treatment

Posture plays a large role in our daily life. Have you ever been sitting down and realized that you’re slumped over with your shoulders rounded and chin poking out? This posture puts a lot of stress on your body, both through muscles and nervous system.

Addressing what muscles are causing poor posture is a common practice at Ash Chiropractic and Wellness. We take pride in being able to tailor care to improve a specific posture, whether it be for rounded shoulders, head too far forward, or hips too far forward. Chiropractic care helps improve posture and is documented through posture scans that are done on your first visit and every re-evaluation.

I’m sure you have heard of fight or flight, this is known as your sympathetic nervous system. When our body is in fight or flight all the time, it wants to curl up like an armadillo and protect itself. Ideally your body would be balanced between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest). This can be shown in numbers with the help of heart rate variability, and chiropractic care has been shown to increase heart rate variability. Let’s work together to improve your posture.
