Could our high tech world be affecting your posture?


Our daily activities including using laptops, tablets (like Ipads), smart phones and countless other technological advances may contribute to poor posture.
Poor posture can cause and contribute to serious health problems including headaches, neck pain, back and shoulder pain. Although we cannot escape modern technology, chiropractic care can help correct poor posture.

At Regatta Chiropractic and Laser Center we aim to effectively identify the problems that are at the root of poor posture by analyzing spinal curvatures, movement and alignment. Our goal is to pinpoint where and how the spine is not moving correctly and make adjustments to correct  spinal misalignment.

Along with visiting a chiropractor, here are some tips that can also help improve your posture:

-Exercise more often. Strengthening back muscles can contribute to a healthy posture.

-Be aware and pay attention to your posture. Be conscious of slouching and keeping your neck down during daily activities.

-Don’t Sleep on your stomach.

Myth Busters!

"Chiropractic care is only effective for back pain"

MYTH!


Although Chiropractors focus on caring for people with musculoskeletal issues, the benefits of Chiropractic are much greater than pain relief.  Because Chiropractors work with the nervous system many patients may notice a change with other non related ailments such as ADD and ADHD, autism, and even depression. Other patients may notice improvement with allergies and asthma, bowel irregularities, fatigue, dizziness, or fibromyalgia. While do not offer TREATMENT for those conditions, by addressing the spine, patient's may, secondarily find relief.




Here at Regatta Chiropractic and Laser Center we believe that the health of the musculoskeletal system is directly related to the health of other parts of the body as well as a person’s psychological health and sense of well being. Scientific studies have proven that when the spine, skeleton, and related soft tissues and nerves are well aligned and otherwise healthy, people usually experience fewer overall health problems.


If you have chronic pain, head aches, or other ailments that you think could be improved with chiropractic care, call us at Regatta Chiropractic and Laser Center to schedule a consultation.
