Improving posture with chiropractic

Most people nowadays tend to have jobs that require them to sit for many hours a day. As a result of prlonged sedentary activity, a large portion of our popualtion is developing muscular imbalance in their upper backs and necks,which lead to upper back pain,neck pain and headaches to name a few symptoms.

Because the upper back muscles are repetitively stressed the appearance of rounded shoulders becomes obvious. This is especially prevalent in the younger work force as much of their day is spent on computers. The muscles of the upper back start to fatigue during the day causing burning pain,general aching and tightness and less flexibility in the neck. Headaches sometimes follow and general fatigue is common because breathing is also effected by these postures.

Our Middle Island office is well equipped to treat your postural problems. After a thorough exam, we may order imaging studies such as X-Rays. We will then concentrate our treatment on relaxing the overworked muscles(usually the upper trapezius and ,rhomboids ) with trigger point therapy or muscke stimulation and then concentrate on strenghtening the underworked muscles( the middle and lower trapezius) We would also provide stretches and home exercises to complement our therapy. Adjusting the neck and mid back will increase mobility of the spine and help with pain.


Chiropractic care has been effective in treating these injuries due to the fact that it stresses mobilization and exercise to restore function and reduce pain. If you fell you have bad unhealthy posture call us today to get an evaluation. We are your source for postural care treatment in Middle Island, Coram, Yaphank, Rocky Point, Ridge, and Gordon Heights
