Rhode Island Chiropractor Dr. Estner

Poor posture may not be the only cause of back pain , but it certainly contributes.Never before have our lifestyles been as sedentary as they are currently. Office and computer workers sit in nearly one position all day long and type, elderly who are unable to move around as they once did, and even children are susceptible to neck pain through the excessive use of video games and lack of exercise.
