Did you know that poor posture and spinal misalignment extend beyond aesthetics?
They can lead to pain, limited mobility and even negatively impact the functioning of vital organs in the long run. Oftentimes, improper alignment of the spine is the first cause of why you feel as though your spine is weighing down your entire body…making you feel tired all the time.
At My Chirocare, we understand the importance of optimal spinal health and how it may affect children active in sports, young professionals constantly slouching over their work desks, adults carrying heavy items and especially- senior citizens with weakening backs.
We know that many things in life can impact spinal health and cause stress to the body.
Which is why today, we have decided to share some of the chiropractic techniques we personally use at My Chirocare Chiropractic Clinic in Singapore to correct our patients’ postural issues and ultimately, to realign their spines.
What do we do:
Chiropractic Techniques to boost our patients’ spinal health.
Spinal Adjustments
During your initial visit, our skilled chiropractors will conduct a comprehensive consultation to understand your specific needs and concerns as well as do a thorough health history-taking. Thereafter and utilising precise techniques, adjustments are done to the areas of the spine that are not moving or functioning the way it is supposed to, which is interfering with the messages travelling between the brain and the body.
By gently manipulating that particular vertebrae in high speed by hand or by using some instrumental assisted devices such as the Activator- the intended spinal adjustments will provide a positive feedback to the neurophysiology of the brain and the nervous system, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
These adjustments also work to improve your posture to help restore balance to your musculoskeletal system. Our goal is to optimise your spinal health, promoting overall health and well-being and restoring your body’s natural alignment naturally.
Adjunct Chiropractic Therapies
We will also regularly supplement your spinal adjustment sessions with various other adjunct chiropractic therapies, including spinal decompression, ultrasound, shockwave, trigger point therapy and electrotherapy to enhance your recovery. Generally, these techniques desensitise the nerves, heal the spinal disc, relax muscles, ease tension and improve circulation- promoting pain relief and relaxation.
For example, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on discs and nerves for conditions like herniated discs or sciatica while electrotherapy, using low-level electrical currents, reduces pain, aids tissue healing and stimulates muscle contractions. These therapies work in harmony with chiropractic adjustments, providing a comprehensive and holistic chiropractic treatment approach to aid your recovery.

Corrective Exercises & Postural Education (Lifestyle Modification)
Corrective exercises are a vital component of chiropractic care, focusing on targeted exercises and stretches that strengthen muscles, improve flexibility and promote correct posture by improving the sense of positioning (also known as proprioception) of our joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles.
Depending on the severity of your condition, we will customise exercises aimed to strengthen weakened muscles, providing support to the spine and facilitating long-term postural improvement.
By following a tailored exercise program, you can actively participate in your own recovery and achieve lasting postural benefits beyond our clinic. We also commonly share valuable insights on ergonomics and daily habits that impact one’s posture, helping you prevent future injuries and aches.
What should you do if you have persistent back aches?
(Upper/Middle/Lower Back)
Don’t delay. In most cases we see, early detection is key to addressing posture and spinal issues effectively as letting the condition dwell on will only cause more negative impact to your lifestyle and overall quality of life.
