Improve and Correct Your Poor Posture
Posture treatment identifies the underlying cause of your poor posture to allow you to sit and stand upright when you’re not thinking about it
How we can help correct your posture
Poor posture is becoming increasingly common as people spend more time sitting at work and at home. Even if it isn’t causing immediate pain, slouching places extra stress on your joints and muscles, which can eventually lead to discomfort, stiffness, and long-term structural problems.
If you’ve noticed your posture gradually getting worse, it’s likely due to subtle changes in your spine’s alignment over time. At Spine and Posture Care, we identify these specific spinal issues and provide tailored treatments to correct them — helping you restore and maintain healthy, natural posture throughout your day.
Prevent or eliminate pain
Don’t let poor posture put unnecessary tension and stress on your body which can cause discomfort or lead to pain in the future
Look and feel better
Poor posture not only makes you look but also feel older. Sitting and standing taller naturally allows you to display confidence that poor posture doesn't
Maintain good posture all day
Allow your body to maintain good posture throughout the day when you're sitting or standing for long periods.
Can a chiropractor fix bad posture?
Yes, chiropractors specialize in identifying and correcting poor posture caused by spinal misalignments, muscular imbalances, and poor habits. They use gentle spinal adjustments, targeted muscle work, and exercise plans to retrain your body into healthier alignment.
How long does it take to correct posture?
This depends on the severity of the issue and consistency of care. Some people notice improvements in a few weeks, while others with chronic poor posture may need several months. Your chiropractor will tailor the timeline to your individual needs and track progress regularly.
Does fixing posture make you taller?
Yes — improving your posture can make you appear up to 2–5 cm taller by correcting spinal alignment, pulling your shoulders back, and eliminating slouching. While it doesn’t increase your actual bone length, it helps you stand at your full height.
