Poor posture affects many in modern society. It can lead to aches and pains in the neck, shoulders, and back. Whether it is because they were not harassed by adults to "stand up straight" or if in their later life, weak bones or muscles led to their stoop, chronic slouchers can find relief in posture support correctors.
Physicians must be ready to know the correct posture supporter types available in order to recommend the right one for their patients. Most posture corrector supports help keep the shoulders and upper back in alignment. If the top half of the spine is kept straight, the whole of the back is easier to hold in the right position. By not slumping the shoulders, the patient can alleviate pressure on the vertebrae of the neck, and thus prevent neck pain that is commonly seen in those who frequently work in with their head and shoulders bent. correct posture supporters can be found as clavicle braces and straps that pull the shoulders back and force the wearer to keep his upper back erect. These are worn beneath clothing with the straps looped around the arms. There are also overall back supporters that cover the entire spine and resemble back supports.
When a patient is looking for a posture support corrector, there are some specific criteria that he should keep in mind. First, the orthopedic product must fit the patient. Depending upon the brand, these might be available to order by clothing size. Otherwise, the patient will have to know the circumference of his chest. Having the correct size is just half the battle when buying posture corrector supports. The piece itself must be comfortable. These are designed to be worn beneath clothing, and so they must have a low profile that will not show through shirts or appear bulky. The straps must be well padded since they are worn for the entire day. There will be no benefit to preventing neck pain if the patient refuses to wear the device.
The advantages of proper posture are numerous. This means that the head is erect, the shoulders are pulled back and the spine is straight. Professional models practice this stance by balancing a book on their heads or imagining a plumb bob that extends from the ceiling through their backs to the floor. By keeping the body aligned, injury to the neck and back is less likely. This is especially the case in lifting heavy objects where if the spine is not held straight, the lifter risks pulled muscles or herniated discs. In modern society, neck pain is a common ailment. Having the right posture is one of the easiest ways to prevent this, and the best way maintain the correct stance is to wear a posture support corrector. By having one of these on throughout the day makes standing and sitting up straight an effortless achievement.
Recommendation to a patient of a posture corrector support device is one way that a physician can avoid having to treat his patient for future neck or back pain. In the long run, this can only benefit both the medical practitioner and his patient.
