Posture & Alignment Care
Stop the Pain. Fix the Habit. Rebuild Your Posture Naturally.
We live in a world where we sit more, move less, and look down constantly at screens, phones, laptops, and steering wheels.
And while we don’t notice it at first, our bodies absolutely do.
Your spine was designed to move, to stack, to support you with ease.
When posture breaks down, the body compensates — but compensation always comes with a cost.
Sitting is the New Smoking
Long periods of sitting change the structure of your spine, tighten certain muscles, weaken others, and overload the joints in your neck and back.
This often leads to:
Neck and shoulder tension
Upper back stiffness
Headaches
Low back pain
Fatigue or sluggishness
Difficulty taking a full breath
Your body adapts to the position you spend the most time in.
If you spend hours sitting or looking down, your posture becomes that position.
Text Neck & Forward Head Carriage
Your head weighs about 10–12 lbs in ideal posture.
But for every inch your head moves forward, the effective weight on your neck doubles.
Head Position
Effective Load on the Neck
Neutral (ear over shoulder)
~10–12 lbs
1 inch forward
~20–24 lbs
2 inches forward
~30–40 lbs
3+ inches forward
~45+ lbs
This is why:
- Your traps get tight
- Your neck feels strained
- You feel like you “carry stress” in your shoulders
- Your posture keeps getting worse even when you try to “sit up straight.”
Your muscles are working overtime just to hold your head up.
Your Body Can Adapt But Not Always in a Good Way
When posture stays stressed long enough:
- Muscles change length
- Joints stiffen
- Nerves become irritated
- Your brain starts to recognize dysfunction as your “new normal.”
This is why stretching alone doesn’t fix posture.
It’s not just tight muscles; it’s changes in how your spine is moving and how your nervous system is functioning.
To change posture, you must restore motion + retrain support.
That’s where chiropractic comes in.
How Chiropractic Helps Posture
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper motion to the spinal joints that have become stiff, locked, or overloaded.
When the spine moves correctly:
✔ Muscles relax
✔ Nerve pressure decreases
✔ Your head and shoulders begin to realign naturally
✔ Your body can finally break the compensation pattern
We then pair this with specific strength and mobility work so your posture becomes strong, efficient, and sustainable.
This is not about “stand up straight.”
This is about retraining your structure to work the way it was designed to.

What Patients Often Notice
After starting care, many patients report:
- Shoulders sit back naturally
- Neck and back feel lighter and looser
- Breathing becomes deeper and easier
- Less fatigue from sitting or standing
- Stronger awareness of proper alignment
- More confidence in their movements and presence
This is more than posture, this is how you show up in your body every day.
