Many of the patients we see at Pure Chiropractic in Staines have ongoing back pain as a result of poor posture. In fact, poor posture is one of the leading causes of back pain in adults. It can also affect many aspects of overall health including digestion, circulation and energy levels.

But are you regularly aware of your posture? Do you make good posture your priority? If you don’t, start today! It really is one of the best and easiest ways to improve your spine health and reduce your risk of painful back conditions.

Remember that it’s crucial to maintain good posture when you sit and lay down as well as when you stand! Whether it’s at a desk, in your car or on the sofa, sitting or lounging for too long can add extra pressure on your spine which can lead to  significant back pain. So it’s even more important to strive for a healthy posture if you regularly sit for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Straighten up – don’t sit around waiting for back pain to bring you down!
