Poor Posture 101: How It Can Cause Neck Pain
Dr. Erik Simms
DC, Owner at Triple Crown Chiropractic
Have you ever thought about your posture when you're sitting, standing, or doing any activity? If not, then maybe you should. Your posture can affect how your body feels overall, including any pain you may experience.\n\nNeck pain is one of the most common complaints linked to poor posture. Forward head posture—where the head juts forward of the shoulders—adds significant load to the cervical spine. For every inch your head moves forward, the effective weight on your neck increases by approximately 10 pounds.\n\nAt Triple Crown Chiropractic, we identify postural issues, correct underlying spinal misalignments, and teach you how to maintain proper posture throughout your day.
