Understanding Posture Problems

Modern life puts a lot of strain on our posture. Hours spent sitting at a desk, driving, or looking down at phones can lead to rounded shoulders, forward head posture, and tension through the neck and back. Over time, this can cause pain, stiffness, fatigue, and even breathing or digestion issues.

At North West Chiropractic, we help patients identify what’s causing poor posture and create a plan to restore natural alignment — so you can move, stand, and sit comfortably again.

Common Signs of Poor Posture

You may have postural imbalance if you notice:

• Rounded or hunched shoulders

• Forward head position (“tech neck”)

• Uneven hips or shoulders

• Mid-back tightness or fatigue when sitting

• Frequent headaches or neck pain

• Difficulty maintaining upright posture

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care addresses posture problems by improving spinal alignment, joint mobility, and muscle balance. Our chiropractors use gentle adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and corrective exercises to:

• Reduce tension in overworked muscles

• Restore normal joint movement

• Re-train postural muscles for stability

• Improve balance, breathing and confidence in your posture

We also provide ergonomic and lifestyle advice — from workstation setup to sleeping positions — so your results last outside the clinic.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your initial visit includes a detailed postural assessment, spinal exam, and review of how your daily habits contribute to your posture. Once we identify the key areas to correct, we’ll explain a tailored care plan that combines adjustments, stretching, and home exercises to improve alignment safely.

When to Seek Help

If you experience stiffness after sitting, recurring back or neck pain, or if friends or family notice you “slouch,” professional posture assessment can make a big difference. Early correction helps prevent long-term strain and pain.
