Ever wonder why good posture is promoted so heavily by healthcare professionals?  Correct posture plays a significant role in balance. When you stand upright, your weight should be centered over your feet. When you stand up straight, the alignment of all your body parts is supported by the right amount of muscle tension against gravity. This alignment helps you maintain proper form when exercising, walking up and down stairs, lifting packages, etc., resulting in fewer injuries.

Chiropractors specialize in ensuring you have proper posture which leads to better overall health. Chiropractic helps assist the body, not only through manual manipulations, but with recommendations on how to maintain correct posture during physical activities and exercises by strengthening core postural muscles. These recommendations help reduce the risk of injury and correct bad habits that have worsened over the years.
