Do you spend a lot of time looking down at a computer screen, phone, or tablet? You may find that you are suffering from chronic neck pain. Poor posture can be a source of neck pain, spinal misalignments, and excessive tension in these areas. Our professional chiropractic treatments at Northgate Chiropractic Clinic in Rochester, MN, can help relieve your neck pain and improve your posture. 

What are the effects of bad posture?

Many busy professionals spend most of their day hunched over a computer. While this may be beneficial for your job, it can be hard on your spine and muscles. Your head is quite heavy, which places undue strain on your neck. Bad posture can cause neck pain, back pain, spinal dysfunction, joint problems, and stiffness. Over time, poor posture can weaken your spine and increase your chances of getting injured. 

How can chiropractic treat neck pain?

Bad posture is one of the leading causes of vertebral subluxations, also known as spinal misalignments. These imbalances place excessive pressure on your nerves and muscles. This accumulation of tension is often responsible for neck pain and stiffness. Spinal misalignments also protrude into the surrounding areas, creating inflammation and aggravating the nearby nerves. 

Chiropractic treatments are meant to correct any spinal misalignments that may be causing your neck pain. Your chiropractor will apply gentle adjustments to the exterior of your body that carefully nudge your spine back into its proper alignment.

How to Maintain Proper Posture

Maintaining proper posture, whether sitting, standing, or moving, is essential to the preservation of your spinal integrity and the prevention of future neck pain. Your chiropractor at Northgate Chiropractic Clinic can advise you on the best ways to maintain the correct posture throughout your day.
