How Poor Posture Affects Your Spine

Poor posture often develops gradually, but its effects on the spine can become significant over time. Everyday habits like prolonged sitting, screen use, and slouching can place repeated stress on the spine and surrounding muscles. Understanding how poor posture affects spinal alignment can help patients recognize when chiropractic care may support better movement, posture, and long-term spinal health.
