Posture refers to the position of the body in a space, as well as the relationship of the body parts to one another. Changes in this occur any time the body is moved. Posture is important for many different reasons. Not only does it communicate through non-verbal body language, it can also reflect the mental attitude and self-esteem of a person. Ideal posture refers to the state in which there is skeletal and muscular balance that offers protection against progressive deformity or injury, whether a body is resting or working. A Geneva chiropractor can offer postural correction therapy to help improve overall posture.



Bad posture usually comes with negative affects on the overall health and happiness of a person. It can impact several systems of the body, from musculoskeletal to circulatory and respiratory to digestive. The causes for this problem may be considered structural or positional.



Structural causes are permanent deformities of the anatomy. These may not be correctable through conservative means. However, there are some foot, ankle and leg inequalities that can be fixed conservatively.



Positional causes of faulty posture relate to poor postural habit. It might also be linked to normal degenerative and developmental processes, psychological factors, muscle imbalance, and joint hypomobility or hypermobility. Sometimes it is brought on by excess weight, respiratory conditions and general weakness.



There are several possible solutions for correcting this issue. Some people use physical therapy and others prefer incorporating special supports and braces. There are also certain exercises, including yoga, that are known to improve one's posture. A chiropractor can do postural correction therapy on patients to gradually improve their situation. How effective this practice is will depend upon many different factors, such as the original condition of the client.



Chiropractors are involved in the field of alternative medicine. In this field, emphasis is on natural means of healing rather than modern medicine that utilizes medications and surgery to fix problems. When this practice is done correctly, it has the potential to improve posture, and reduce or eliminate neck and back pain.
