Unfortunately, it is not a quick yes or no answer. A patient must be
evaluated to determine why there is not a normal posture to be able to
recommend a posture corrector. A posture used for the wrong reasons will
not be effective.

It depends on the severity of the presentation of the patient. They can be
very effective but you should be evaluated by your Chiropractor for further
recommendations.

Posture correctors are good in starting the "mental training" and awareness of postural deficits. After about 4-6 weeks of posture correctors, I would advise seeking a chiropractic evaluation for exercises and ergonomic practices to assist with posture correction.
Whether it is neck or low back posture correction, each method is different depending on which region that is in question. Chiropractic evaluations are effective in identifying spinal deficits, and generating a treatment plan for stabilize those regions.

I am of the opinion that it has to be behavioral meaning you have to be consious of your posture. There are some feedback devices like Lumolift that can let you know when you start slouching
Hello, I have been practicing chiropractic for over 46 years and I am a teaching professor at a chiropractic university. Doctors of chiropractic specialize in correcting spinal misalignments and any deviations in normal posture. If you’re concerned about your spine and a healthy posture I would definitely recommend that you shake chiropractic care for evaluation and then management. I hope I answered your question!!
Hi, I can’t speak for every chiropractor but for me it would be case deepened. Having said that, I don’t recall a time when I suggested a gadget over specific treatment and exercises to correct postural patterns.
