When most people think of posture, they think of how it makes one look.  However, most people may not know how much of a role posture plays in overall health.  Poor posture is a big stressor on the body that can cause arthritic changes, reduce a person's range of motion, cause muscular imbalances, headaches, TMJ problems, affect lung function and even affect emotional vitality. 

Through chiropractic care, we can break up connective tissue adhesions (scar tissue) that form as a result of long term poor posture, restore range of motion and healthy joint mechanics.  Furthermore, we can address muscular imbalances and strengthen the postural muscles through exercise, stretching, and other methods. 

Here is a little excerpt from a research article that investigated posture's role in health:

"Posture affects and moderates all human functions, both consciously and unconsciously, from breathing to hormone production, to thinking."
