Many jobs across the country are considered office jobs that require sitting at a desk for most of the day while doing paperwork or looking at a computer screen. The problem with this type of work is that it can lead to poor posture. This may not seem like such a big concern, but poor posture is a leading cause of back and neck pain, which is a top complaint and a major reason that people schedule doctors’ visits. The good news is that your posture can often by improved by work ergonomics, which is in your power to control. Choosing an ergonomic office chair is one great and simple way to improve posture. Chiropractic care from Leake Chiropractic is another. Both methods are beneficial for correcting posture to reduce back pain, and when they’re utilized together, you’ll see even more progress in improving posture and reducing back pain.

Chiropractic care is also a great way to improve posture to ease chronic back pain. Spinal misalignments can lead to poor posture and increased pain. Gentle adjustments from Dr. Gary Leake of Leake Chiropractic will remove these misalignments, as well as ensure the body is in a proper position, with head, neck, spine, and feet all in correct alignment. However, the spine may be in the habit of being positioned a certain way after years of improper alignment. Regular chiropractic visits are often required to reposition the spine so that it will hold the proper alignment so you can experience relief from pain and discomfort.
