Balance And Coordination

Poor Posture Leads To Poor Balance

Hello all. Dr Brad here again and today we are going to talk about balance and coordination.If you feel that you are clumsy and you stumble and trip frequently, even falling on occasion,this can often times result from spinal misalignments and posture distortions in the neck and upper back (PQ 1 and 2), and even in you lower back (PQ 3).Posture distortions here can result in decreased postural control, increased postural sway,less stability against gravity, sensory-motor disturbances (your brain and body are coordinating properly), balance issues and thus an increased risk of falling.This can happen in any age group but is of a greater concern with people in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Common fractures from falling are the wrist, hip, lower leg and ankle and these can oftenbe a complicated fracture which take longer to heal.It is never too late to take measures to improve your posture.
