“Should I go to a chiropractor or a physical therapist for bad posture?”

Both are more than capable of helping with your posture. I prefer to couple chiropractic (to align the spine and balance muscle tension) with physical therapy (to strengthen inhibited muscles and stretch overactive muscles). Postural braces and foam rollers are generally a good at home solution!

Chiropractor for sure.

You will probably end up seeing both. The problem is complex. Muscular, neurological and structural along with subconscious. Jay H Schwartz, DC, DIBCN, DIBE

Both chiropractors and physical therapists can help. Physical therapists are usually more well versed in exercises that you may do on a daily basis. However, good posture is often a byproduct of regular chiropractic care. By aligning the spine, the body finds its innate design and adapts to what your posture was created to be, which is perfect in ear over shoulder over hip over knee over ankle. A quick way to "trick" your brain into adapting to perfect posture is to stand against a wall, getting your heels to touch first, then your behind, your shoulders and finally your head. Stand there for about 30 seconds and then step forward. If you feel awkward, you need to be standing there longer. It's a simple exercise you can do anywhere for up to 5 minutes daily. It works with your brain's proprioception and therefore helps you achieve perfect posture. In getting there, you will notice more health benefits in your body functioning as it should. *Gena Wickes, DC, cAVCA* *Horse & Hound **Chiropractic, LLC* *www.horsenhoundchiro.com <http://www.horsenhoundchiro.com>* *(214)684-6863*

It actually depends on the reason for poor posture. I personally think that Physical Therapy is better for poor posture, but it all starts with awareness.
