Poor posture from desk work, phones and old injuries can lead to neck pain, back pain and headaches over time.
We evaluate how your spine is moving and how you sit, stand and work, then help you correct the habits and restrictions behind your pain.
Signs your posture may be causing problems
- Forward head or rounded shoulders ("tech neck")
- Neck and upper back tightness by the end of the day
- Low back pain after sitting
- Frequent tension headaches
How we can help
We use adjustments and corrective exercises to help your spine move better and hold a healthier position, plus practical advice for your workstation and daily habits.
- Posture and alignment evaluation
- Corrective adjustments
- Strengthening and stretching exercises
- Workstation and daily habit advice
What to expect at your first visit
- Consultation. We talk about your symptoms, history and goals.
- Exam and any necessary x-rays. We find out what is causing the problem.
- A clear plan. Dr. Pfeiffer explains what he found and what care he recommends, and in many cases treatment can start the same day.
New patients can take advantage of our $50 new patient special, which includes the consultation, examination and any necessary x-rays.
