Posture refers to the position of the body in a space, as well as the relationship of the body parts to one another. Changes in this occur any time the body is moved. Posture is important for many different reasons. Not only does it communicate through non-verbal body language, it can also reflect the mental attitude and self-esteem of a person. Ideal posture refers to the state in which there is skeletal and muscular balance that offers protection against progressive deformity or injury, whether a body is resting or working. A Geneva chiropractor can offer postural correction therapy to help improve overall posture.

Bad posture usually comes with negative affects on the overall health and happiness of a person. It can impact several systems of the body, from musculoskeletal to circulatory and respiratory to digestive. The causes for this problem may be considered structural or positional.

Structural causes are permanent deformities of the anatomy. These may not be correctable through conservative means. However, there are some foot, ankle and leg inequalities that can be fixed conservatively.

Positional causes are related to normal developmental and degenerative body processes, muscle imbalance, poor postural habits, excess weight and general weakness. It might also be linked to joint hypermobility or hypomobility. Psychological and respiratory factors can be positional causes as well.

There are numerous solutions used to correct this problem, from specialized braces and supports to physical therapy. Certain exercises, such as yoga, have been said to improve overall posture as well. A chiropractic doctor can perform postural correction therapy to gradually improve the problem. The effectiveness of these methods will vary based on many factors, including the original state of posture.

Chiropractors are considered practitioners of an alternative medicine. This does not involves the techniques employed by most working in modern medicine, such as surgery or medications. Instead, the approach is more natural, relying on natural herbs and non-invasive options. When done correctly, this procedure has the potential to help reduce pain in the back and neck, and improve posture.
