Are you suffering from pain in your neck area? Sometimes we don’t realize it but the amount of stress we put on our neck causes it to become stiff and sore. Believe it or not the human head weighs 10 to 12 pounds on average and the neck supports the head. In one of our blogs we go into further depth about neck pain.
While most minor neck pain goes away on its own within a few days with minimal medical treatment, there are distinct times when you should see a neck pain doctor right away.
Over time, poor posture and misalignments accelerate spinal degeneration — thinning discs, joint wear, and nerve irritation.
“Seeing my posture transform on their X-rays was life-changing.”
There are several causes that result in poor posture. The largest factor contributing to posture issues is the way we sit. Majority of people allow their bodies to be in a slouched position with their heads forward. The newest contributors leading to posture issues are smart phones and tablets. The act of looking down in the typical “texting” position nearly triples the weight of our head that our neck is forced to support. Over time, our neck adapts to this stress by reversing the normal backward curve of the neck into a forward curve, producing what many doctors call, “Text Neck”.
This can lead to a plethora of disorders including headaches, dizziness, vertigo, neck pain, numbness and tingling into the fingers, decrease thyroid function, and shortness of breath. If not treated promptly, “Text Neck” can result in abnormal fusion of the vertebrae in your neck which is irreversible.
