Posture Supports - Do You Need Them?
First we need to clarify what you are hoping this posture support will do for you. Somewhere in our minds, “posture support” or “posture aid” has become “posture corrector.” There’s nothing wrong with searching the internet looking for things to improve your posture. I, for one, applaud your efforts! However, if you are looking for a “quick-fix” to years of postural damage, you are not going to find it with a support.
The good news is you don’t need to spend an equal amount of time undoing the damage that took hours, days and years to accomplish. You’ll need to work on improving your posture with exercise, but posture supports can be very helpful.
End Neck Pain By Improving Posture - How Proper Posture Improves Your Spine Relieving Nerve Pressure
How does posture have anything to do with neck pain?–Neck pain comes from pressure on the nerves. How does this happen?–Usually pressure from a misaligned neck spine. When your spine is misaligned (some call that subluxated) it does not move like it should and in turn creates inflammation in that area. Either out-of-alignment spinal vertebrae (spinal bones) put direst pressure on nerves or the inflammation, or built up degeneration causes the pressure.
The most common misaligned postural pattern in the neck that will result in neck pain, stiffness and lack of mobility is forward head carriage. This is when the head posture is forward of the shoulders and almost always reveals loss of the normal neck alignment or curvature.
