Poor Posture
You can't will your way out of poor posture. Dr. Kim corrects the structure underneath it, and posture often improves right away.
Forward head, rounded shoulders, a slouch you can't seem to fix: posture isn't just a habit, it's structural. When vertebrae shift forward, the body adapts around them, and posture follows. Dr. Kim's approach brings those vertebrae back, and posture frequently improves immediately. One of her upper adjustments even helps draw the shoulders back, taking pressure off the chest so people often breathe easier.

Real Results
Posture follows structure
Telling yourself to sit up straight doesn’t last because posture is built on the structure beneath it. Correct the structure, and standing tall stops being a constant effort.

Questions
Poor Posture: Frequently Asked
Can chiropractic actually improve posture?
Yes. Because posture follows your structure, correcting forward vertebrae often improves it right away. Patients frequently notice their shoulders sit back and they stand taller after care.
Is it just about sitting up straight?
No, and that's the frustrating part of most posture advice. Dr. Kim addresses the structural cause underneath, so better posture isn't something you have to constantly force.
Will I breathe easier?
Many people do. An upper adjustment brings the shoulders back and takes pressure off the chest, and patients often say they breathe more easily afterward.
How do I start?
Begin with the $29 new patient special so Dr. Kim can assess your structure. Call 860-495-0362.
Can poor posture from years of desk work still be corrected?
Often, yes, even posture that's built up over years. When vertebrae shift forward the body adapts around them, but Dr. Kim works to bring those vertebrae back and release the adhesions holding the slouch in place. She'll look at your structure honestly and tell you what's realistic for you.
Is it too late to fix my posture as an adult?
It's rarely about age. Because posture follows your structure, correcting the underlying forward vertebrae can improve it at many stages of life. After your exam Dr. Kim will be straight with you about how much change to expect.
Can you check my child's or teenager's posture?
Yes. Dr. Kim is glad to assess a child or teen carrying a forward head or rounded shoulders. She always evaluates each young patient individually and tells you honestly whether corrective care may help.
Will fixing my posture take ongoing care forever?
No. Dr. Kim's corrective approach has an actual end point rather than being care forever. Once the structure is corrected and the body can hold itself more upright, standing tall stops being a constant effort.
