Our Chiropractors<\/a> at The Melbourne Chiropractor<\/a> have seen first hand that poor posture<\/a> can cause devastating affects on the bodies musculoskeletal system for both young and older patients<\/a>. What they have found is areas of dysfunction<\/a> caused by poor posture have influenced problems such as degeneration, sprains or strains or even put people at risk of overuse type injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long you have had poor posture is not a reason to think it cannot be changed, the biggest issue, is how it was caused and what other underlying factors such as trauma or medical problems the patient is dealing with. Most times we find that posture can be improved within the first 8-12 weeks if it is a functional cause, although depending on the severity it may take up to 6 months to see changes in areas that are severely degenerated and affected by poor posture. Lifestyle factors and habits will also come in to play as forward posture at the desk<\/a> from long hours can limit the amount of change from therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
