Remember your mother's stern command: "Sit Up Straight!"? What was the big deal about how you sat anyway? Now, as you sink deeper into the couch, as your shoulders hunch over your computer, as you start to think you may actually be shrinking; well, all of a sudden posture has become a big deal. Over time, poor posture will lead to premature arthritis, herniated discs, sciatica, cause nerve damage, headaches, and much more. This is why Dr. Duke wrote the book Perfect Posture. Active people who regularly work out in gyms or at home may look like they are in great overall shape and good health, but are actually among the most vulnerable to common Neck and Lowback injuries. Did you know how your spine is positioned while exercising is more important than the exercise itself ! At Duke Chiropractic we are always talking about proper posture and the causes of back pain associated with poor posture. From us you will learn exercises that both stretch and strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and much more. The book Perfect Posture, by Dr. Scott G. Duke, is available at our office or any major bookstore.
