Is Bad Posture Causing Increased Pain?

Understanding Poor Posture

With the advancement of technology, thousands of Canadians are suffering from poor posture each year. Unfortunately, bad posture leads to many health complications including joint degeneration, spinal dysfunction, respiratory problems, and high blood pressure, amongst other things. By understanding the causes of bad posture, posture-related problems can be rectified.

Being in a bad posture all the time stresses body parts like the neck, back, and shoulders to carry the more unwanted weight that they wouldn’t have to if you make your posture right. This habit is the cause of pain all the time. Moreover, poor posture not only brings pain, but it can majorly affect your health, how we live, and how we feel every day.

Poor Posture Causes

Postural imbalance affects us in many ways. It can cause soreness, muscle pain, poor digestion, fatigue, and even low self-esteem. Poor posture also comes from a variety of factors such as doing simple tasks such as sitting down or serious situations such as figuring in an accident. Poor posture can cause a variety of other problems as well like back pain and tension headaches because of straining and tightness that comes from putting stress on incorrect muscles and joints. 

These are a few causes of poor posture:

1.   Whiplash

2.   Feeling stressed

3.   Using your phone

4.   Carrying a heavy bag

5.   Old age and extra weight

6.  Improper sleeping position
