Posture Chiropractor Gold Coast

Why posture matters

Long hours at a desk, on a phone or driving can change how you hold yourself, and many people notice a forward head position or rounded shoulders. Posture can be linked to neck, shoulder and back discomfort in some people.

We have a special interest in postural conditions. Dr Andrew Kaltenbach has postgraduate training in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), which uses posture and spinal measurements to plan care, and we are the largest CBP practice on the Gold Coast.

What we do

• A digital posture scan and physical examination
• X-ray referral only when clinically indicated
• A report that shows what we measured and what it means
• A plan that may include adjustments, corrective exercises and spinal traction (decompression) for the neck and lower back, if suitable
• Re-checks so you can see how you are tracking

Postural correction at RCWC

Here, postural correction means measuring how you hold yourself, setting a clear plan and re-checking so you can see progress. Home exercises are a big part of it, and we keep them short and practical. See how traction fits in on our spinal traction and decompression page.
