Posture

Tips for good Posture:

Neutral Spine: Your spine should have three natural curves: one in your neck, one in your upper back, and one in your lower back. Good posture means maintaining these curves without exaggerating them. Chiropractic Spinal adjustments help keep the spine aligned for better posture.

Sitting Posture

Feet Flat: Keep your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. Avoid crossing your legs. Knees at Hip Level: Ensure your knees are at the same level or slightly lower than your hips. Back Support: Use a chair that supports the natural curve of your spine. You can use a small cushion or lumbar roll for additional support. Shoulders Relaxed: Keep your shoulders relaxed and not hunched up toward your ears. Head Aligned: Your head should be aligned with your spine, not leaning forward. Your ears should be over your shoulders.

Standing Posture

Weight Distribution: Distribute your weight evenly on both feet. Avoid shifting your weight to one side. Knees Slightly Bent: Keep your knees slightly bent, not locked. Engage Core: Engage your core muscles to support your spine. Shoulders Back: Keep your shoulders back and down.
