Postural Correction in Oklahoma City
Improve Strength and Confidence With Postural Correction in Oklahoma City.
Posture may not be something we often think about, but it impacts how we feel and how we move.
Poor posture affects a lot more than just the way you look. Having great posture strengthens your body and helps you feel confident, while having poor posture puts pressure on your back, neck, and extremities, leading to pain and discomfort.
However, those are only the immediate effects. Over time, poor posture becomes your muscle memory, forcing your back out of alignment and compressing discs and nerves. This can cause painful conditions throughout the body that are hard to fix, and these conditions always return, even with traditional chiropractic treatment.
Our postural correction clinic in the Oklahoma City area is focused on reversing this process and helping our patients enjoy all the health benefits that good posture provides.

The Long-Term Effects of Poor Posture
When you have poor posture, it is with you every second of the day. It acts like a full body repetitive stress syndrome, putting tension on the nerves and blood vessels while straining the ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
This interferes with breathing and circulation and aggravates underlying conditions like disc degeneration or arthritis.
Over time, all of this turns into chronic pain that patients try to treat through medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic care, or, sadly, activity restriction. With hit-or-miss results, it may help temporarily, but always tends to return once care is complete.
Postural correction and exercise address issues at the root to create lasting relief and stable postural improvements.

How to Fix Posture and Back Problems for Good
Posture and Spinal Alignment Care Plans are adapted from the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) evidence-based research. More than 30 years of research and 250+ peer articles all conclude that in order to achieve not just short-term pain relief, but also lasting improvements for patients, there are three main types of treatment necessary: Postural Exercise, Neuro-Muscular Reeducation, and Spinal Alignment Traction.
Postural Exercise
Each patient will have a set of postural core exercises based on their unique spinal alignment. These exercises are both for in-office and for home self-care. Initially, these exercises will build strength out of weakness and eventually will give you the endurance you need to hold great posture throughout each and every day.

Neuro-Muscular Reeducation
While the muscles need strength to be able to keep you upright all day long, they also need to be taught a new habit and new default balanced alignment. Have you ever told yourself "I need to sit up straight," and then 30 seconds later, you've fallen right back into the bad posture—that's your brain taking you back to your default setting. Our brains and bodies learn bad habits day in and day out from our daily activities, traumas, and ergonomics. So, the second step in correcting spinal alignment is to reteach the brain (neuro) and body (muscular) connection to hold you in a new unconsciously wonderful posture.
Spinal Alignment Traction
Crucial for postural and spinal improvements, traction is key to changing the shape of your spinal ligaments and discs. Ligaments and discs are very elastic, tough, fibrous materials that are literally the guidewires for the shape of your spine. They keep everything in place, even while you are moving, sitting, and exercising. Over time, they will adapt and toughen (hypertrophy) into the wrong shape if you sit in front of a computer all day or can be altered if you have a big injury. The goal of traction is to regain flexibility and stretch your ligaments back into their original healthy shape and rehydrate your disc.
The 3 Phases of Care
While regular chiropractic care is helpful in providing temporary relief from back pain, neck pain, and headaches, Focus Chiropractic' advanced chiropractic care in Oklahoma City, uses the evidence-based Chiropractic BioPhysics technique as the foundation for our advanced chiropractic care to go well beyond a temporary fix. By rehabilitating your spine back to its natural alignment, you will restore your body's flexibility, mobility, strength, and create optimal blood flow and nervous system function. In doing so, you will alleviate chronic pain, muscle tension, and related health problems on a more permanent basis.
Initial Care
If you're in immediate pain and discomfort, the first step is to get you out of pain. For this reason, once you are fully assessed, we will focus on pain relief through adjustments and other stretches geared to alleviate pain and prepare your body for the corrective phase. This phase could take as little as a few sessions to complete.

Corrective Care
Once you're out of pain, we'll focus on addressing the underlying cause of the problem; spinal misalignment. For this, we utilize the most advanced and result-oriented chiropractic and PT protocols, which includes traction, decompression, retraining your unconscious postural habits, and customized home care exercises to strengthen your core musculature. This phase, on average, lasts between 3 to 6 months.

Maintenance Care
Once you have completed corrective care, our research shows that pain reduction and increased function stay stable or even improve further beyond what you achieved in the corrective phase. And the good news is a balanced spine is easy to maintain. Our maintenance patients generally see us one to two times per month as we continue to work with them to improve postural, exercise, and ergonomic habits. Annual check-ups will also help us re-measure your posture and guarantee that there is no backward slippage or regression.
