\u200bLower cross syndrome<\/strong>
 
Lower Crossed Syndrome is a muscular imbalance syndrome, which results in postural changes, <\/font>postural dysfunction and visible unleveling;<\/span> <\/font>particularly in the lower spine, <\/span>that our Chiropractors are trained to identify. We will complete an assessment, posture scan and posture report during your first visit. <\/font><\/p>\n

Muscular imbalance can lead to an unstable back, which <\/span>increases the risk of injury<\/span> and dysfunction in the joints in the lower back and pelvis as well as the hip joints. It may also <\/span>impair your sporting performance<\/span> as a result of reduced core stability and stride length.<\/span><\/p>\n

Causes<\/strong>
This condition is often caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting or standing, and a lack of core stability for the spine. Lower Cross Syndrome is characterised by weak or inhibited abdominal and buttock muscles with tight, overactive low back extensors and hip flexors.<\/font><\/p>\n

Often the gluteal and hamstring muscles becoming inactive or weak due to remaining in a sustained incorrect lengthened position. And one or both hip can become tight or stiff, caused to the muscles spasms from prolonged shortening of the muscles that cross the hip joint. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Treatment<\/strong>
ChiroCure Clinic offers treatment that can help you to manage lower cross syndrome including Chiropractic, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our practitioners offer specific adjustments and a treatment to regain normal function in the joints in the lower back and pelvis. They will also address the muscular imbalance by relaxing the over-tightened muscles and ensuring you have a programme of self-help exercises to specifically target the weak muscles causing the imbalance. You will also be given advice of your posture and how to correct it whether it be at home, work, whilst driving or sleeping.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not normally enough to just keep stretching and massaging the tight muscles. This will only give short-term relief. Chiropractic treatment is aimed at dealing with the underlying cause of the tight muscles, which is the joint problem.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
