Posture Correction & Improvement

Poor posture is a silent epidemic affecting millions of people. Modern life, desk work, smartphone use, long car commutes, trains our bodies into forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and spinal misalignment that create pain and dysfunction. At Form & Function Chiropractic, Dr. Jeff Devine helps patients identify and correct postural imbalances before they cause serious problems.

How Poor Posture Develops

Poor posture often develops gradually from daily habits: slouching at your desk, holding your smartphone at chest level, carrying bags on one shoulder, sitting in your car for hours. Over time, your muscles adapt to these positions, your spine misaligns, and pain develops. Many people don’t realize their posture is causing their problems.

Effects of Poor Posture

Poor posture creates neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. It interferes with spinal nerve function, reduces lung capacity, affects digestion, and impacts overall health. Forward head posture adds stress to your cervical spine, each inch of forward head position adds approximately 10 pounds of pressure to your neck.
