Seven bones, discs and joints carrying the weight of the\nhead-weighing on average 12 pounds. This doesn\u2019t sound like too big of a task,\nright? If you maintain \u201cgood\u201d posture, balanced muscular system, and no\nrestrictions in joint function, then the neck should be in great shape for\ncarrying around 12 pounds day in and day out. In reality, the majority of\npeople are not very balance in their cervical spinal anatomy and physiology.\nLet see how this may include you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you\nexperience neck stiffness, especially in the morning? Does your head turn or\ntilt one direction farther that another? Is your head in an abnormally tilted\nor turned position even when you feel things are \u201call straight\u201d? Yes to any of\nthese is an expression of the body that something is off kilter. But this is\njust a surface of what is underlying for a potentially bigger issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you\nhad headaches, eye strain, sinus problems, TMJ issues, abnormal heart rate,\nanxiety, ringing in the ears or simply \u201cpain\u201d in the head, neck or face? All\nthese can be signs of a cervical spine complex. A complex involving the neck\ncan be a serious and progressive condition if not evaluated and treated\nproperly. In early stages, this condition may not present with noticeable\nsymptoms that motivate you to have it checked. Why wait for a problem to become\ntime consuming and expensive! Early detection and even prevention will help\npreserve the quality of life you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are\nmany causes of a cervical spine complex that can compromise your valued health.\nInjuries involving auto accidents\/whiplash, sports related injury, minor falls,\nhitting the head and even repetitive poor posture are some of the macro- and\nmicro-traumas to the cervical spine. The most inconspicuous and more\nincreasingly suspect of cervical spine complex is the last mentioned here-POOR\nPOSTURE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor\nposture can be a combination of weak and overactive muscles or muscle groups,\ncombined with improper or lack of exercise, then adding gravity to pull it all\ndown. So you are not a victim of \u201cpoor posture\u201d, but a contributor. A common\nexample of this contribution involves the growing use of technology and the\nincreased sitting\/standing at desk jobs. Because of poor posture during these\nactivities new diagnosis are arising. Prime is one referred to as \u201cTEXT NECK\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One\nresearcher, New York spine surgeon Kenneth Hansraj performed a study to\nunderstand forward head postures affect on the cervical spine complex. Dr.\nHansraj summarized the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe\nweight seen by the spine dramatically increases when flexing the head forward\nat varying degrees. Loss of the natural curve of the cervical spine leads to\nincrementally increased stresses about the cervical spine. These stresses may\nlead to early wear, tear, degeneration, and possibly surgeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\nis nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these issues,\nindividuals should make an effort to look at their phones with a neutral spine\nand avoid spending hours each day hunched over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According\nto Dr. Hansraj, \u201cTEXT NECK\u201d may lead to wear and tear on your spine and spinal\ndegeneration. Repetitive forward head posture creates inflammation, muscle\nimbalance, nerve pressure and has also been linked to headaches, neurological\nproblems and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you thing prevention is costly, then consider the cost of loosing proper function to your cervical spine and managing chronic headache, neurological problems and even heart disease by not properly maintaining the health of your neck. Seek a complete chiropractic evaluation of your posture, spine and nervous system today. It will \u201csave your neck\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact your Tempe Chiropractor today to see if we can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed\nChiropractic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">250 W.\nBaseline Rd. #107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tempe,\nAZ&nbsp; 85283<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"Tel:1(480)785-1355\">480-785-1355<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chiropractorintempeaz.com\/index.php\/schedule-appointment\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a> Today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Text neck is the leading cause of neck pain and headaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,86],"tags":[153,91,155,151,152,117,92,150,154],"class_list":["post-10116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chiropractic-care","category-health-and-wellness","tag-cervical-curve","tag-chiropractic","tag-headaches","tag-neck-pain","tag-oversuse-injuries","tag-reed-chiropractic","tag-tempe-chiropractor","tag-text-neck","tag-tmj"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>suffering from text neck?
