How a Chiropractor Can Help You Improve Your Posture at Work
Poor posture can cause a wide range of health problems, from aches and pains to high blood pressure and respiratory issues. At Breen Chiropractic Clinic, our chiropractor Dr. Robert Breen can do a full postural evaluation to identify areas of spinal misalignment and imbalance. He can then provide chiropractic care and posture correction in Manassas or Warrenton, VA, to improve your posture at work and home and reduce your risk of health complications.

Chronic poor posture can increase your risk of various health problems, beyond just aches and pains:
- Back and neck pain

What to Expect From Posture Correction
Dr. Breen will start with a thorough physical examination and full medical history. He may take x-rays to rule out certain health problems and assess the extent of your spinal misalignment or dysfunction. He will then guide you through a series of therapeutic exercises and stretches designed to improve your core strength so that your muscles better support your spine. Then he will demonstrate proper posture and help you implement changes at home and work to support better posture. He will also design a chiropractic care plan that improves spinal alignment and core strength, corrects spinal imbalances, and improves posture.
