Today’s technologically connected people are always looking down at their smart phones, checking out their friends’ activities on their laptops, or trying to finish the last level of a fantasy world game – even if it means sitting behind their desk for 22 straight hours without moving.
Studies have shown that those with poor postural habits experience more pain, discomfort and disease throughout their lives. Up until ten years ago that included a small fraction of the population; sadly, over the past decade, the majority of us have fallen under this category.
People don’t realize that the human body wasn’t designed to constantly look down to read Suzy’s latest rant on Justin Bieber. Nor was it designed to sit still behind a screen and stretch forward to check the latest cute kitten video on YouTube.
Forward head posture – as chiropractors call it – stretches thin the tiny nerves in the neck and upper back. This reduces vital nerve energy from reaching the limbs and organs, resulting in a wide array of health problems; some very serious.
Over the past decade, millions of tech-savvy people around the world have reported tingling and numbness in their hands and fingers, an increase in number of headaches and migraines, life-affecting bouts with fatigue and fibromyalgia, as well as depression and anxiety issues. Others complain of insomnia, major changes in metabolism, year-round allergies, and constant bouts with acid reflux, asthma, digestive problems, or high blood pressure.
While most people who suffer with these issues simply ignore their symptoms or mask it with drugs, others have taken the only logical path to correcting the structure of their spine, by eliminating the source of the problem once and for all.
