From teens gazing downward at their digital devices for extended periods to busy office workers sitting at their workstations for hours, poor posture can develop. Maintaining proper spinal alignment can be a massive challenge. Improper alignment doesn’t just look bad; it can lead to various health issues.
The Posture Problem
Bad alignment isn’t just about slouching. It includes forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and an overly curved lower back. These misalignments can cause more than just a hunchback appearance – they’re often behind those nagging aches and pains, fatigue, and even headaches. If ignored, poor spinal health can lead to long-term issues and decreased quality of life.
