Spinal Health Week 2018

You are here: Home / Chiropractic / Spinal Health Week 2018

June 1, 2018 by Jonathon Langer

Spinal Health Week 2018 launches CAA’s latest campaign: Chiro Can Help. This campaign highlights some common symptoms that prompt people to visit a chiropractor, such as poor workplace posture.

The majority of problems we see in office workers come down to poor posture. Poor workplace posture is a major cause of back pain, workplace stress and can lead to repetitive strain injuries. This can result in poor employee health and low morale which will ultimately lead onto reduced productivity, lost time and higher business costs.

Our bones hold us up, our joints link our bones, our muscles move the bones around the joints and our nerves facilitate control of the whole. The key to good posture is correct joint alignment, but muscle activity, balance and nerves are all part of the picture.

Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against the forces of gravity while standing or sitting. The key to good posture is training your body to sit, stand and walk in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during weight-bearing activities.

The Effects of Poor Posture may include:

  • Poor joint alignment
  • General muscle aches
  • Increased shear forces within the spine effecting disc integrity
  • Compression of disc and joint structures
  • Compression/reduced space for nerves to course through the body
  • Reduced blood flow to muscles resulting in increased fatigue
  • Overuse injuries


Common Posture Problems

  • Forward Head Posture is the most common postural defect found in computer operators.
  • Round Shoulders is distinguished by the hunched over appearance it creates and is a poor posture that is often associated with office workers and computer operators.
  • Rotated Hips can be caused by holding a poor position for a long period of time, such as sitting at your desk twisting to write as well as looking at the computer.

Restoring correct posture is at the core of our treatment philosophy.  Treatment options treating postural deficiencies may include:

  • Spinal adjustments
  • Soft tissue therapy
  • Workstation setup and ergonomics
  • Bracing and/or taping techniques to help retraining
  • Postural rehabilitation exercises
  • Stretching and strengthening exercises

Poor posture can have long term consequences. Posture correction treatment won’t just help you stand straighter; it will help your body stay strong and flexible for longer. Our chiropractors and occupational therapists are committed to playing a key role in educating Australians about the importance of managing your own health.
