How Structural Chiropractic in Te Puke Bay of Plenty NZ Can Help Kyphosis and Poor Posture

If you’re noticing rounded shoulders, a hunched upper back, or ongoing neck and back pain, you might be experiencing kyphosis or postural imbalance. At Te Puke Chiropractic, we focus on Structural Chiropractic Care in Te Puke Bay of Plenty NZ - an advanced approach designed to correct the underlying structure of your spine rather than just easing the symptoms.

Whether you live in Te Puke, Papamoa, or the wider Bay of Plenty, improving your spinal alignment and posture can make a huge difference to your comfort, mobility, and confidence every day.

What Is Structural Chiropractic?

Structural Chiropractic focuses on identifying and correcting core structural shifts in the spine - changes that can lead to nerve irritation, muscle tension, and long-term postural problems.

Instead of quick, temporary relief, we take a deeper look at how your spine aligns with an ideal structural model. Our chiropractors assess:

• Spinal curves (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
• Pelvic balance and alignment
• Head and shoulder position
• Posture and movement patterns under load

By restoring your spinal structure closer to normal, we help relieve stress on muscles and joints and improve the way your body functions overall.

Kyphosis and Poor Posture in Te Puke Bay of Plenty NZ: What’s Happening?

Kyphosis is an excessive forward rounding of the upper back - often called a “hunchback” posture. It can develop from:

• Extended time sitting or looking down at screens
• Weak or imbalanced postural muscles
• Previous injuries or spinal degeneration
• Structural or congenital changes in the spine

Over time, these postural issues can cause stiffness, pain, fatigue, headaches, and even affect breathing or digestion.

The good news? With the right structural chiropractic care, your posture and spinal health can improve significantly - at any age.
