Poor Posture Treatment in Skokie, IL

What Is Poor Posture?

Poor posture occurs when the body is consistently held in positions that place excessive strain on the spine, muscles, and joints. Common examples include forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and prolonged slouching while sitting or standing. Over time, poor posture can contribute to neck pain, back pain, headaches, muscle fatigue, and reduced mobility.

Modern habits such as extended screen use, desk work, and repetitive daily activities often play a significant role in postural issues.

Signs and Symptoms of Poor Posture

Poor posture may develop gradually and can present with symptoms such as:

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Upper or lower back pain

• Headaches

• Muscle stiffness or fatigue

• Reduced flexibility or range of motion

• Feeling sore after sitting or standing for long periods

Addressing posture early may help prevent long-term discomfort and spinal stress.
