Posture isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you feel. When your posture is poor, your body has to work harder. Muscles strain. Joints wear down. Nerves get irritated. Over time, that slouch or forward head tilt turns into real pain—pain that keeps you from living the life you want.
At Edmonds Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, Dr. Jon Martin helps people correct their posture, restore balance, and relieve pain—without surgery, without medications, and without limits.
How Poor Posture Causes Pain
Posture is your body’s foundation. When it’s off, everything above and below suffers. From head to toe, poor alignment creates tension, restricts movement, and puts pressure on nerves—causing pain that doesn’t go away on its own.
And it doesn’t happen overnight. Poor posture develops slowly—from the way you sit, stand, and move every day. You may not notice it until you’re living with constant pain.
Common Pain Points Caused by Poor Posture:
✔ Neck Pain & Headaches: Forward head posture from looking at screens strains neck muscles and pinches nerves, leading to chronic pain and tension headaches.
✔ Shoulder Pain: Rounded shoulders create muscle imbalances, causing tension, soreness, and reduced mobility.
✔ Upper and Lower Back Pain: Poor posture places extra stress on spinal joints and discs, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and nerve irritation.
✔ Hip Pain: Anterior pelvic tilt from prolonged sitting tightens hip flexors and weakens glutes, causing pain in the hips and lower back.
✔ Knee and Foot Pain: When your posture is off, your body compensates—causing imbalances that strain your knees, ankles, and feet.
✔ Fatigue: When your body is out of alignment, it has to work harder to hold you up—leaving you exhausted and drained.
