5 common signs of poor posture

Posture is by far one of the most common contributor to neck and back pain we see here in the Lab.

The most common presentations of poor posture are:

Headaches

Forward head posture increases muscle tension and strain which can trigger headaches, often felt in the temples or back of the head.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Poor neck and shoulder posture particularly while typing or using devices, can contribute to nerve compression in the neck, shoulder and wrist, resulting in pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms and hands

Cervical Spondylosis

Degeneration of the cervical spine, often resulting from prolonged poor posture, can lead to neck pain and stiffness.

Increased Kyphosis

An exaggerated forward rounding of the back, often referred to as "hunchback," or if higher in the thoracic region the “granny hump” can develop from habitual slouching.

Sciatica

Poor posture can affect the alignment of the lower spine, potentially compressing the exiting nerve roots and leading to pain radiating down the back of leg.
