If your lower back pain just won’t go away, your posture could be the real problem.
Sure, you could blame your mattress or a tough workout—but in many cases, chronic low back pain comes from how you sit, stand, and move every day. Poor posture shifts your spine and pelvis out of alignment, puts excess pressure on your joints, and leads to compensations that wear down your body over time.
At Strong Performance Chiropractic in Johns Creek, we don’t just treat symptoms—we correct the underlying structure that’s causing your pain.
The Posture–Pain Connection
Your spine is designed to support your body in a specific alignment. When your posture breaks down—whether from long hours at a desk, repetitive stress from sports, or lack of movement—your pelvis can tilt, your spine can shift, and your muscles start to compensate. Over time, that leads to:
- Increased pressure on your lower back joints
- Tight hip flexors and hamstrings
- Weakened core and glutes
- Altered walking and movement patterns
Even if you think you’re standing up straight, your posture might still be creating a silent stress on your spine—and your lower back is taking the hit.
Common Postural Problems That Affect the Lower Back
Here are a few things we see all the time at Strong Performance Chiropractic:
- Anterior Pelvic Tilt: This forward tilt of the pelvis puts extra arch in your low back and tightens hip flexors.
- Forward Head Posture: When your head juts forward, your entire spine compensates—especially your lumbar region.
- Flat Back Posture: Losing the natural curve in your lower spine can also create tension and pain.
- Weak Core and Glutes: If your deep stabilizing muscles aren’t doing their job, your spine picks up the slack.
These aren’t just “bad habits”—they’re patterns that create structural stress. And they don’t fix themselves.
How We Fix It at Strong Performance Chiropractic
Our approach blends Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP)—a proven, research-based system for correcting spinal alignment—with Functional Movement training to restore balance, strength, and performance.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
- Postural Assessment: We take digital posture scans and X-rays to pinpoint misalignments.
- CBP Structural Correction: Through gentle, targeted adjustments and traction, we correct the shape of your spine and realign your pelvis.
- Movement Retraining: We guide you through customized exercises to activate the right muscles and fix faulty movement patterns—especially in the hips, core, and glutes.
- Lifestyle Coaching: We teach you how to move, sit, stand, and train in ways that support long-term health and performance.
Don’t Just Manage the Pain—Fix the Cause
The truth is, your lower back isn’t the problem—it’s the victim of poor posture and faulty mechanics. If you’ve tried massage, stretching, or traditional chiropractic but your pain keeps coming back, it’s time to look deeper.
At Strong Performance Chiropractic, we help you fix the structure so the function—and the freedom—comes back.
