AHEAD SYNDROME FORWARD

Probably the most frequent and serious postural distortion is Forward Head Syndrome. Your head shifts forward on your shoulders as a result of the weakening and distortion of your spinal curvature, which causes this ailment. It is a typical postural deviation that negatively impacts your general health in numerous harmful ways.

Once more, a great deal of research has been done on the impact of Forward Head Syndrome on physical health. The following are the findings of physicians and medical researchers who have studied physical medicine:

In 1987, Rene Cailliet, the director of the University of Southern California’s Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, came to the following conclusions on Forward Head Syndrome:

Losing the neck’s natural curve results in Forward Head Syndrome. An optimal spinal function will be mechanically blocked by this twisted posture.

The lack of the normal neck curve resulting in Forward Head Syndrome causes aberrant motion of the first four cervical vertebrae, which is required to give the essential stimulus for the generation of endorphins. (The brain and spinal cord release endorphins, which lessen painful impulses.) Many sensations that are not unpleasant at all are perceived as painful when endorphin production is deficient. (For example, fibromyalgia, bodily aches, etc.)

It is possible for Forward Head Syndrome to cause a 30% reduction in lung capacity. Heart and blood vessel disease can be brought on by shortness of breath.

The whole gastrointestinal tract, especially the large intestine, may be impacted by Forward Head Syndrome. A common consequence of this postural weakness is loss of adequate evacuation and bowel function, which can have toxic effects and cause sickness in the body.

⦁ Forward Head Syndrome can cause the body to become inflexible and restrict all movement by pulling the spine and entire body out of alignment. After then, the body becomes “HUNCHED.”

The natural neck curvature will continue to bend and deform forward as a result of forward head syndrome, causing the spinal cord to lengthen and undergo axial traction, or stretching. As a result of the head gradually shifting forward and going uncorrected, there is a neurological compression that results in a functional stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal cord diameter. The spinal cord is permanently elongated when your posture is fixed in this weaker form. As the cord’s diameter keeps getting smaller, nerve communication to ALL of your body’s essential organs is permanently and functionally reduced.

In 1974, Kapandji came to the conclusion that Forward Head Syndrome will cause a decrease in the flow of CSF (the fluid that supplies nutrients to your brain and spinal cord). Your brain and spinal cord’s protection will be further jeopardized by this decrease of fluid circulation. The loss of mental activity and physical and mental well-being is the outcome of this mechanically caused stenosis in conjunction with the lack of fluid circulation.

DEGENERATION FROM FORWARD HEAD SYNDROME THAT PROGRESSES

If Forward Head Syndrome is not treated and is allowed to gradually deteriorate your posture, this is what might happen to your spine.

At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness forward head posture and other postural distortions are selected and designed from a compressive consultation, health history, physical examination (orthopedic/neurological testing), digital posture analysis, weight bearing sitting x–rays using 41 measurements and 23 angles analyzing and comparing the spine to a mathematical model. In specific cases additional diagnostics could be ordered (Digital Motion X–rays/CTs/MRIs) to obtain or confirm a diagnosis.
