By restoring spinal alignment and addressing muscle imbalances, chiropractic care can help improve posture and reduce related pain. Why does sitting at a desk make my pain worse? Prolonged sitting often causes slouching, rounded shoulders, and tight muscles, all of which can strain the spine. Chiropractic care, combined with ergonomic adjustments, can help. Will I need to exercise to fix my posture? Yes. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, simple exercises and stretches are often recommended to strengthen and support lasting posture improvements. Can poor posture cause headaches? Yes. Tension in the neck and shoulders from poor posture is a common cause of headaches. Addressing posture often reduces headache frequency and severity.
