Today's topic is the Secret Link Between Neck Pain and Posture. Many people don't realize how important it is to have a proper curve in the neck so that when you stand upright, your ears sit right over your shoulders.

When we lose the curve in the neck, we develop a syndrome called Forward Head Posture, which has many negative consequences. Headaches are one because there is tremendous strain in the upper neck where the nerves exit and control the muscles and blood supply to the head.

Neck and shoulder pain is another negative consequence from Forward Head Posture because as the head falls forward and gravity continues to weigh us down, the trapezius muscles in the shoulders are working extra hard, constantly, to hold the head up. This creates tension and generally, ultimately spasm in those muscles, causing pain and discomfort.

The treatment is gentle adjustments to restore motion to the neck, massage therapy to relax the muscles and corrective exercises to strengthen the posterior muscles in the neck thus pulling the head back.

As opposed to just taking pills which only cover the symptom temporarily, this is a long term treatment which will add years to your life, and life to your years.

To Your Health!
