Poor Posture Care In Sonoma

At Peak Performance & Posture with Dr. Hodgson, we take a proactive approach to tackle inflammation by fixing its core issue – spinal misalignment. Dr. Hodgson combines precise adjustments with spinal traction, a technique similar to orthodontics, to reshape your spine and restore its ideal alignment.

Our process begins with detailed diagnostics, using X-rays and advanced imaging, to pinpoint the exact spinal imbalance. Once identified, Dr. Hodgson applies specialized Chiropractic BioPhysics principles to promote long-lasting improvements in bone and joint movement, directly addressing the root cause of your discomfort.

How It Starts

Pain Caused By Poor Posture

Nerve Pain

Sciatica is a common example of nerve pain caused by poor posture. Pressure on lower back nerves due to inflammation leads to radiating pain down the back of one leg. Prolonged sitting, standing, or physical activity can trigger or worsen sciatic pain. Misaligned spine curvature plays a significant role in this discomfort.

Joint Pain

Poor posture can also cause joint pain. Initially, mild cases may respond to chiropractic adjustments. However, prolonged poor posture can lead to joint injury, inflammation, and spine degeneration. Chronic inflammation can harm spine discs and joints, even leading to bone spurs. Seeking chiropractic help early can prevent further deterioration.

Muscle Pain

Muscle pain in the back, neck, and shoulders is a common outcome of poor posture. Misaligned spine disrupts muscle function, leading to tension, knots, and scar tissue. Traditional chiropractic adjustments may not suffice when muscles have adapted to support a misaligned spine. Correcting posture is crucial, and spinal traction helps restore optimal alignment and relieves muscle pain over time.
