Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Improves Forward Head Posture with Tonawanda Chiropractic Care and Exercise
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation speculates that you are feeling at least one of these things right now: tight jaw, stiff shoulders creeping up to your ears, chin tipping down, head jutting forward on your neck. And if you are on your cellphone reading this, you are likely doing all of these at once! Forward head carriage or forward head posture (that Wikipedia (1) calls “Justin Bieber Head” and "iHunch"!) is familiar to most all of us. Cell phone use, unsuitable computer screen set-up, and stress may all contribute. This posture forces our 10 pound heads to stick out and off of our necks. Not a pretty sight or healthy situation! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation relieves and improves the condition!
FORWARD HEAD CARRIAGE / FORWARD NECK POSTURE EXPLAINED
What is it? Forward head carriage occurs when your neck pushes forward over your first spinal vertebra, C1 (cervical vertebra 1). Each inch forward increases the weight on your neck by 10 pounds. (2) That adds up! What results? Neck pain. Shoulder stiffness. Pain between the shoulders. Fatigue. Headache. Arm pain. Jaw pain. Do you feel it?
FORWARD HEAD CARRIAGE / FORWARD NECK POSTURE HELPED
What helps? It may seem that since it’s a neck issue treating the neck and concentrating on the neck itself only would help most in resolving the issue and any related pain. A group of researchers reported that this is not necessarily the case. They compared neck mobilization treatment (plus stabilization exercise) to thoracic spine (upper back) mobilization treatment (plus stabilization exercise. They discovered that delivering thoracic spine mobilization treatment plus stabilization exercise delivered better results. Pain, disability, and global rating of change by patients all improved along with their craniovertebral angle when standing as well as their cervical extension posture. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses Cox® Technic, a comfortable stretching treatment for the neck and thoracic spine that is very effective for spinal issues like this. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation makes certain that our Tonawanda chiropractic patients with forward head posture have their thoracic spines treated! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation also encourages our [[targeltocation]] chiropractic care patients with forward head carriage to do their part, too, by performing the stabilization and other recommended exercises!
SIMPLE TIPS FOR FORWARD NECK POSTURE CORRECTION
A few simple things help a lot. Line up your computer screen level with your line of vision. Stretch often while performing inactive work (computer, desk, TV). Intentionally adjust your standing posture so you are upright. Lean into a wall with your shoulders, head, hips all are coming in contact with the wall. Listen and carefully do any neck strengthening exercises your Tonawanda chiropractor recommends. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation will make sure the exercises are simple so our Tonawanda chiropractic patients will do them!
