Improve Your Posture & Avoid Back Pain
This week at Oak Bay Family Chiropractic, we tackled three big topics:
✔️ How to improve your
posture
✔️ What those adjustment “pops” really mean
✔️ And how to avoid
back pain on flights
Let’s break it down:
Posture Check! Straighten Up
In one of our latest posts, we reminded everyone: stop slouching! Good posture isn’t just about appearance — it can actually help reduce muscle strain, improve breathing, and prevent long-term pain.
With all the time we spend sitting or looking at screens, poor posture sneaks in quickly. Chiropractic care can
realign your spine and help you build better habits for daily movement.
What’s That Pop?
You asked, we answered: what’s that cracking sound during an adjustment?
It’s called cavitation — gas bubbles releasing from your joints when pressure changes. It’s totally normal, completely safe, and not essential for an effective adjustment.
In short:
- Nothing’s breaking
- Not everyone hears it
- The goal is restored motion, not noise
Flying? Protect Your Back
In our latest Instagram reel, Dr. Brad and Dr. Tyler shared quick, in-seat stretches to keep your spine happy during flights.
Long travel days can lead to stiffness and back pain — but with simple movements like spinal twists, ankle rolls, and shoulder shrugs, you can stay comfortable in the sky.
Even short bursts of movement can help keep blood flowing and your spine supported until landing.
