Same Day Appointments
Feel taller, breathe easier, move with confidence—without forcing perfect posture.
If your neck aches after every meeting, if your shoulders creep toward your ears by noon, if your low back nags on the drive home, you’re not alone. Postural stress adds up—at a desk, behind a wheel, on your phone, or even during workouts. At Springwater Chiropractic, our team provides thoughtful, evidence-guided care from a dedicated posture chiropractor who treats the cause, not just the slump. With a plan that actually fits your life, you can sit, stand, and move without bracing for pain.
Ready for posture that feels natural—not forced?
Good posture is more than a rigid military stance. It’s your body’s default—how joints stack, muscles share effort, and your nervous system keeps you balanced with the least strain. When that balance slips, pain creeps in.
Common postural pain points we hear every day:
You’re not lazy or broken. Your body is smart—it’s been finding ways to get the job done, even if the strategy costs you comfort.
Our skilled posture correction chiropractor helps you trade those costly strategies for efficient ones so comfort returns—and stays.
Forward head posture / tech neck with headaches, jaw tension, and limited rotation
Rounded shoulders / upper-crossed patterns that crowd the shoulder joint and irritate the neck
Thoracic kyphosis (stiff mid-back) that forces the neck and low back to overwork
Swayback or excessive lordosis with low-back pain and tight hip flexors
Anterior or posterior pelvic tilt contributing to hip, knee, or lumbar discomfort
Scapular dyskinesis (shoulder blade timing issues) fueling shoulder pinches and mid-back knots
Functional leg-length/postural asymmetry that throws off gait and balance
Desk-related pain in the neck, shoulders, mid-back, or lower back that resurfaces daily
Sport posture problems (running, lifting, cycling, swimming) where technique + posture synergy is missing
If your posture changes during stress or long days, that’s normal. We’ll map your pattern, show you why it persists, and build a plan that tilts the odds in your favor.
We start with your story: where and when it hurts, what positions you can’t tolerate, what you want to return to (or start!). Your goals shape everything.
We check joint glide (spine, ribs, shoulders, hips), muscle tone and length, breathing mechanics, balance, and how you move through sit-stand, reach, lift, walk, and look-over-the-shoulder tasks. If anything suggests a different diagnosis or we need imaging, we coordinate quickly.
You won’t just get a lecture on posture. We start calming hot spots and restoring motion on visit one, so you leave feeling lighter and more open.
When the thoracic spine and ribs move better, the neck and low back stop overworking. Gentle, specific techniques restore glide without forcing your body into positions it can’t maintain.
We release overworked areas (upper traps, levator scapulae, pecs, lats, hip flexors, QL) and wake up underused stabilizers (deep neck flexors, mid-back, glutes). Pressure is calibrated to you—no no-pain, no-gain.
Many posture problems are breathing problems in disguise. We teach diaphragmatic patterns that stack your ribcage and pelvis, so upright feels supported—not strained.
Shoulder blades and hips are posture’s powerhouses. You’ll learn simple drills for scapular upward rotation/retraction and hip external rotation/abduction so arms and legs move without dragging the spine into bad angles.
Every 30 minutes, move for 30 seconds. We’ll give you fast resets (chin nods, open-book rotations, hip airplanes, ankle rocks) that keep posture from collapsing between workouts.
Monitor height, keyboard/mouse placement, chair support, foot position, car-seat setup, sleep posture, and phone habits—practical tweaks that make new patterns stick.
Two to five high-yield exercises, 5–10 minutes total. No hour-long routines you’ll abandon by Thursday. We build consistency first, capacity second.
Goal: create space and reduce tension. We mobilize stiff segments (mid-back, ribs, hips), release hot spots, and establish 2–3 movement snacks + a better breathing pattern. Many notice less neck pressure and easier standing by the end of this phase.
Goal: lock in alignment you don’t have to think about. Deep neck flexors, mid-back extensors, scapular control, and hip stability progress from awareness to light strength. Workstation tweaks prevent daily unraveling.
Goal: make good posture automatic under load. We layer resistance and endurance you can feel at your desk, in the car, and on a walk: anti-rotation core work, hinge/squat patterns, carries, and shoulder patterns that protect the neck.
Goal: keep the wins, handle long days, travel, and training. We refine your minimalist maintenance routine and add context-specific plans (presentations, flights, big work sprints) so posture holds up when life gets busy.
You don’t have to be perfect 24/7. Small, well-timed resets change how your body feels by day’s end—and how it wakes up tomorrow.
We address the whole chain: joints, muscles, breath, and daily habits.
When your neck throbs or mid-back pinches, you shouldn’t wait weeks.
Adjustments, soft-tissue care, mobility/strength, and ergonomic coaching, all aligned.
Clear exams, gentle options, honest expectations.
Most plans accepted; transparent options if paying privately.

Because you’re likely lifting your chest and arching your low back to look tall, which pushes your head forward. We’ll teach a ribcage-over-pelvis stack and deep-neck activation so upright feels supported—not forced.
Often. Forward head posture and shoulder tension can irritate joints and muscles that refer pain into the head. Restoring mid-back movement, improving scapular control, and training deep neck flexors frequently reduces those headaches.
Strength helps, but it’s not step one. If joints are stiff and breathing is shallow, your core can’t work well. We restore mobility and diaphragmatic patterns first, then add strength that your body can actually use.
No. We aim for independence. Many people choose periodic check-ins (like dental cleanings), but your plan includes simple self-care so gains last between visits.
Braces can remind, but they also let muscles off the hook. We might use short-term supports for symptom relief, but long-term change comes from mobility + control + habits you can own.
Static standing can be just as posturally stressful as sitting. We’ll teach micro-shifts (foot position, glute activation, rib stack, breath resets) and show you how to vary stance without losing stability.
Yes—when matched to your tolerance. We have low-force options and mobilizations that gently restore motion. Your comfort sets the pace.
For mild, functional curves, improving mobility, strength, and symmetry can reduce pain and fatigue. If your curve is structural or progressive, we’ll coordinate with your MD and tailor care to your needs.
Some feel easier turning, breathing, or sitting after the first visit. Steadier, durable changes usually build over weeks as patterns shift and strength supports your new alignment. We’ll track wins beyond pain—sleep, energy, focus—so progress is clear.
Usually not for posture alone. If your history suggests another condition—or imaging would change the plan—we’ll coordinate promptly.
Absolutely. Stress lifts shoulders, shortens breath, and pulls the head forward. That’s why we include down-regulation and breath work—so posture upgrades hold, even on busy days.
Try two minutes of diaphragmatic breathing (hands on lower ribs), one set of chin nods, one set of open-book rotations per side, and a 5-minute walk after dinner. Tiny, consistent steps outpace heroic once-a-week efforts.
