Posture Correction in Omaha
Poor posture is about much more than looking slouched. It can affect how you breathe, how your brain and nerves work, and how you feel day to day. When your head shifts even an inch forward from its ideal position, it adds a lot of stress to your spine and may reduce blood flow to your brain. This “anterior head carriage” can trigger headaches, neck and upper back pain, and even drain your energy and mood.
How Poor Posture Affects Your Health
When your spine loses its natural curves, your body has to work harder just to hold you upright. Muscles become overworked, joints wear unevenly, and nerves may become irritated. Over time, this can lead to issues such as:
- Headaches and neck pain, especially with computer or phone use
These structural problems rarely improve with simple stretching or occasional treatment because the underlying alignment has not been corrected.
Beyond Basic Adjustments: Corrective Care with Chiropractic BioPhysics®
Many chiropractors can see postural problems and offer short-term relief with an adjustment. While that can help joints move better, it usually does not rebuild the normal curves of the spine or create lasting change.
At Green Chiropractic, Dr. Tereshel Johnson and Dr. Toby Green use Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), one of the most researched spinal restructuring methods in chiropractic care. CBP is focused on changing spinal alignment at a deeper, structural level so your posture and nervous system can work more efficiently.
By restoring more normal spinal curves, CBP aims to reduce the mechanical stress that drives ongoing pain and dysfunction, rather than only easing symptoms for a few days.
Personalized Treatment and Home Support
Not every person is a candidate for full spinal remodeling. Your doctor will review your goals, health history, X‑rays, and posture findings to decide what level of correction is realistic and appropriate for you.
When posture-focused care is recommended, your plan may include:
- Gentle, customized adjustments using methods such as Diversified, Gonstead, Activator, Motion Palpation, or Impulse techniques
- Targeted traction based on your specific postural measurements
- Corrective exercises that strengthen weak areas and stretch tight ones
Dr. Johnson and Dr. Green are also trained in soft tissue methods such as Active Release Technique, Nimmo, and Post-Isometric Relaxation Stretching. These techniques help release tight muscles and fascia, improve joint motion, and support the structural changes created through CBP.
Lasting postural improvement requires support outside the office as well. Your doctor will coach you on ergonomic changes at work and home, better sleep positions, and daily movement habits so your improved posture is supported all day, not just during a visit.
Measuring Progress and Staying on Track
Rather than guessing based on symptoms alone, Green Chiropractic uses precise digital X‑rays and posture measurements to track how your spine is changing over time. This allows your doctor to:
- See the exact shape of your spinal curves
- Design the right traction and exercise plan
- Compare before-and-after images to confirm improvement
Progress photos and posture checks help you see visible changes in how you stand and move. This science-based approach gives you clear feedback that your effort is paying off and helps your doctor fine-tune your care for the best possible result.
