Freehold NJ Chiropractor Offers Free Exams to Children During National Correct Posture Month

March 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Freehold, NJ chiropractor, Dr. Russell Brokstein, is honoring National Correct Posture Month by giving back to the community. April is National Correct Posture Month and Dr. Brokstein will be examining the spines of children and young adults who live in our community at no charge throughout the month of April.
Dr. Brokstein said, “I hope to examine at least 1000 children in the community in an attempt to prevent unnecessary muscle imbalance, structural instability and scoliosis. “We all heard it when we were growing up – ‘stand up straight’, ‘you're slouching’. Your mom probably wanted you to look confident and proud but the bottom line is, good posture is good for your health.
When the back is not properly aligned, the body's center of gravity shifts, putting more stress and load on your muscles, joints, and ligaments. Poor posture is a major cause of lower back pain. Also when you slouch, your internal organs may be slightly compressed.
For many people, poor posture can be traced to sitting in front of a computer for hours. The muscles tire and the body shifts position, causing some muscle groups to become tight, stretched, and weak.
Dr. Russell Brokstein will also be providing free backpack screenings, evaluations and fittings as this is one of the main causes of poor posture, neck and back strain, and scoliosis in children.
If you would like to prevent scoliosis and/or are concerned about your child’s posture, please call 732-780-0044 for more information. Or, to secure a Posture and Full Spine Examination, call 732-780-0044 or visit our website at www.chiropractorfreehold.com
