Your Posture is your health
by Dr. Scott J. Heun
"Posture and normal physiology and function are interrelated. Abnormal
posture is evident in patients with chronic pain-related conditions including
backache, headache, and stress-related illnesses."
AJPM 1994;4:36-39
In this article from the January 1994 issue of the American Journal of Pain
Management, the authors state that the significant influence of posture on
health is not addressed by most physicians. I would add, that unfortunately,
postural correction is not part of main stream chiropractic practice as yet
either. However, as the authors go on to state, "posture affects and
moderates every physiologic function from breathing to hormonal production.
Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse and lung capacity are among
the functions most easily influenced by posture."
Obviously, the proper assessment, analysis, and if possible correction of
abnormal posture is an extremely important component of modern health care
