Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sustained faulty posture that stresses the ligamentous or joint structures can lead to diffuse pain that is relieved when the mechanical stress is stopped. This is because the pain is caused by mechanical stress on the tissues, and stopping the stress removes the cause of the pain. Pain medication, modalities, and massage may provide temporary relief, but the underlying mechanical stress needs to be addressed to fully resolve the pain. Sharp pain that cannot be relieved until the tissue heals is usually associated with acute injuries, not with sustained faulty posture. Sharp pain that changes in intensity as the posture changes may be a sign of nerve compression or impingement, and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
