Postural Issues in Kernersville
Reclaim Your Natural Posture
Think about a child’s world for a moment—they’re constantly reaching, grabbing, squatting, and moving through a full range of motion. As we age, our world shrinks. We sit in front of computers, grip steering wheels, and hold phones. Our shoulders move forward, our range of motion decreases, and our bodies adapt to these limited positions.
The Modern Posture Challenge
Adults today face significant postural challenges, especially those who sit at computers all day. When you’re seated for six to seven hours without movement, your body adapts to that position in ways that may create long-term problems. Dr. Craig works with patients to understand their symptoms and the daily habits that might contribute to their discomfort.

Beyond Adjustments: Practical Solutions
While gentle adjustments form the foundation of care, Dr. Craig takes a complete approach to postural issues. He evaluates your workspace setup—is your chair right for you? Does it have proper lumbar support? Are your monitors positioned correctly? Is your mouse and keyboard placement optimal?
Rather than making dramatic changes that are hard to maintain, we focus on simple, practical modifications you can easily implement at work. We also provide specific exercises and stretches designed to counteract the tight muscles that develop from prolonged sitting.
Active Solutions for Better Posture
Dr. Craig encourages patients to break up their sedentary day with regular movement. Simple strategies like getting up to walk around, spending time outdoors, or even swimming can help counteract the effects of prolonged sitting. He helps patients explore options like standing desks through their employers when possible.
The goal isn’t just to address current discomfort, but to help you develop sustainable habits that support better posture throughout your day.
Standing Tall to Improve Your Long-term Health
Issues with how we carry ourselves have become increasingly common due to our modern lifestyle choices. The key to improvement often lies in combining gentle chiropractic care with practical workplace modifications and consistent movement throughout your day. Many patients find that small changes can significantly affect how they feel.
