Does Poor Posture Cause Back Pain?

Yes, absolutely.  Poor posture is by far the leading cause of back pain.

The main problem people have is that the spine misaligns in such a way that the shoulders and head droop down and forward.  When this happens, more pressure is placed on your discs and they begin to get swollen and deteriorate.

This leads to arthritis, degenerative discs, sciatica and spinal stenosis.  Many medical treatments are available that treat the damaged discs.  These include medications, steroid injections and even surgery.

However, these treatments do not address the root cause of the problem.  Which is poor posture. This is why medical treatment of back pain has such a high failure rate.

A treatment that simply addresses the damaged disc without addressing what caused the damaged disc, is doomed to failure.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes a patient may need to have some medication to reduce the swelling in a disc.  But, if the postural problem that caused the swollen disc is not addressed, the disc will continue to deteriorate and get worse.

Doctors of chiropractic concentrate on alignment and posture.  This is why chiropractic treatment of back pain has such a high success rate.  It treats the underlying cause of back pain and disc problems.

Thanks to new advancements in chiropractic technique, posture can be corrected very effectively.  Improvements can be seen on a treatment by treatment basis.
