Posture Correction
Stand taller, feel better. Chiropractic care to correct postural imbalances and relieve the pain they cause.
What's Going On
Understanding Posture Issues
Good posture isn't just about standing up straight — it's about how your entire body aligns and distributes weight throughout the day. When that alignment is off, it puts extra strain on your muscles, joints, ligaments, and spine.
Over time, poor posture can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, headaches, and even breathing difficulties. The problem is that most people don't realize their posture is the root cause of their symptoms.
Your body adapts to how you use it — for better or worse.
At Path to Wellness Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Chitra Rajendran evaluates your posture, identifies the imbalances, and creates a plan to correct them before they lead to bigger problems.
Types We Treat
Common Posture Problems
Postural issues develop gradually and often go unnoticed until pain appears. Here are the most common patterns we see and correct.
Forward Head Posture
Your head juts forward past your shoulders — often from phone and computer use. This adds up to 60 extra pounds of force on your cervical spine.
Rounded Shoulders
Shoulders roll forward and inward, collapsing the chest. Common from desk work, driving, or carrying heavy bags on one side.
Excessive Curvature
Too much curve in the upper back (kyphosis) or lower back (lordosis), putting uneven pressure on your discs and joints.
Uneven Hips or Shoulders
One side sits higher than the other, causing your body to compensate — leading to pain in places you might not expect.
Contributing Factors
What Leads to Poor Posture?
Poor posture rarely happens overnight. It develops gradually through daily habits, work environments, and lifestyle factors that slowly train your body into misalignment.
If any of these apply to you and you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or fatigue — your posture may be the hidden cause.
Sitting at a desk or computer for long hours
Frequent phone or tablet use (looking down)
Carrying heavy bags or backpacks on one shoulder
Sleeping in positions that strain your spine
Sedentary lifestyle with little physical activity
Previous injuries that changed how you move
Stress and tension causing you to hunch or clench

Why It Matters
Benefits of Posture Correction
Correcting your posture doesn't just reduce pain — it improves how your entire body functions day to day.
Less Pain & Tension
Relieve the chronic neck pain, back pain, and headaches caused by muscles working overtime to compensate for poor alignment.
More Energy
When your body isn't fighting against gravity all day, you use less energy — and feel less drained by the end of the day.
Better Breathing
Rounded shoulders and a collapsed chest restrict your lungs. Correcting posture opens up your rib cage for deeper, easier breathing.
Improved Mobility
Move freely with better range of motion in your neck, shoulders, and spine — making exercise, work, and daily life easier.
