A significant amount of chronic pain syndromes stem from an imbalance in the muscles. The primary responsibilities of these muscles are to hold the skeleton together. These muscles can either be over firing or not firing enough (weak). Either way, this puts undo stress on that particular joint, which can lead to pain. You may even be able to see this in action by looking at yourself in the mirror. Is one shoulder higher than the other? Does your head appear to protrude in front of your shoulders? These are just a few examples of bad posture.
At Pittsburgh Physical Medicine and Chiropractic, you will be fully assessed on posture, and you will be given a customized prescription on how to correct it with exercises and soft tissue work.
