Posture Correction Centennial, CO
- Improve Spinal Alignment
- Reduce Muscle Strain
- Personalized Posture Plans
Posture correction with Dr. Tony Nicholas at Axis Health & Wellness in Centennial, CO is an essential treatment for those of you who have tried home techniques only to find yourself hunching again. When you have poor posture, your body settles into uncomfortable and painful positions even when you try to fix them. Professional intervention is needed to correct your posture in a way that’s more permanent. This means better posture for longer and fewer unpleasant symptoms such as muscle and joint pain, headaches, and more.
What Is Posture Correction?
Posture correction is a treatment which puts your bones back into a healthy position rather than simply stretching the muscles around them. It fixes the curve of your spine so that the nerves are no longer crowded and the surrounding muscles can relax. It also takes the excess pressure off the connected joints to further reduce symptoms.
How Does Posture Correction Work?
We use a technique called Chiropractic Biophysics or CBP for short. Unlike general chiropractic treatment, CBP targets spine realignment. We’ll start with x-rays to identify the issues with your spine curvature. We use these images to determine how to realign your spine and make chiropractic adjustments accordingly. It starts with multiple sessions per week and gradually decreases in frequency as the treatment works. X-rays will be used periodically throughout your care to check progress and ensure that we’re hitting our goals.

Why Dr. Tony Nicholas Uses Posture Correction in Centennial, CO
Dr. Tony Nicholas uses posture correction to provide a long-term solution to the underlying issue rather than simply alleviating symptoms in the short-term. His practice uses x-rays as well as patient reports to monitor progress.
“Taking x-rays on patients lets us understand what internally could be wrong that we can see, and not just be guessing. That is the whole point. I want to know what I am working with before I tell somebody what it is going to take.”
Dr. Tony Nicholas, D.C.What To Expect At Your First Visit In Centennial, CO
Everyone’s experience varies a little because we focus on individual treatment. In general, you can expect your first visit to take about 60 to 90 minutes. This includes intake paperwork, patient consultation, and x-rays. Before we even get into posture correction, our first priority is pain relief. You may receive a minor adjustment for the first visit focused on alleviating muscle pain and tightness. This won’t necessarily touch your posture but it will make you more comfortable to get started.
Treatments We Often Combine With Posture Correction
If necessary, we may combine other treatments if CBP isn’t getting the job done. We may use these other treatments for symptom relief or additional corrections. Other treatments we combine with CBP posture correction in Centennial include:
