Conditions
Poor posture isn't a cosmetic concern — it's a functional one that affects your whole body.
Modern life — hours at a desk, looking at screens, sedentary commuting — creates postural patterns that place sustained stress on the spine, muscles, and joints. Over time, these patterns can contribute to pain, fatigue, and reduced function.
Gradual — develops over months or years of repeated positions
Commonly affects neck, upper back, shoulders and lower back
Linked to chronic pain, reduced mobility, headaches and fatigue
Extremely common in office workers, students and people with screen-based jobs
symptoms
A chiropractic postural assessment examines how your spine, pelvis and surrounding muscles are aligned and functioning. Treatment may include spinal adjustments to improve mobility, exercises to strengthen postural muscles, and practical guidance on workstation set-up, movement habits, and daily positioning to reduce cumulative load on the spine.
