Slouching, hunching, or craning your neck over screens doesn’t just look bad—it strains muscles, compresses nerves, and accelerates spinal degeneration. At Twins Chiropractic, we help patients correct postural imbalances to relieve pain and prevent long-term damage.
How Poor Posture Causes Back & Neck Pain
The Mechanics of Misalignment
- Forward Head Posture: For every inch your head tilts forward, your spine bears an extra 10 lbs of pressure—leading to “tech neck” pain.
- Rounded Shoulders: Tight chest muscles + weak upper back strain cervical and thoracic joints.
- Anterior Pelvic Tilt: Arched lower back stresses lumbar discs, causing chronic low back pain.
Long-Term Risks of Ignoring Posture
- Herniated discs
- Chronic tension headaches
- Reduced lung capacity
- Early-onset spinal arthritis
