Forward Head Posture and Decreased Lordotic Curvature of the Cervical Spine - The Potential Sequelae of Abnormal Alignment
Grant Tully, B.S., D.C.
Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research ~ March 28, 2016 ~ Pages 21-24
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this review is to identify and discuss potential pathological conditions secondary to forward head posture and decreased lordotic curve of the cervical spine.
Discussion: Forward head posture and a decreased cervical curve affect the biomechanics of the spine. This can accelerate cervical spine degeneration, contribute to cervical myelopathy, affect proprioception, and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. There are physiological mechanisms that can explain these phenomenon and this review examines them.
Conclusion: Forward head posture and a decrease in cervical lordosis may play a role in numerous pathologies by altering biomechanics.

Welcome,
The concern for our health and that of our family, is often the main challenge we face. Choosing proper and safe health care methodologies is of paramount importance. Chiropractic is one of the safest and most effective ways to obtain and maintain your health.
Defining health as simply the absence of symptoms is a poor measure of one's actual health. True health is much more than that. Symptoms are often signs of a healthy functioning body. They can be warnings that something is wrong or that your body has reached its limit and needs to rest and heal.
The Physicians Desk Reference's
definition of health is: "Health is a state characterized by anatomical, physiological and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally valued family, work and community roles; ability to deal with physical, biological, psychological and social stress; a feeling of well-being and freedom from risk of disease and untimely death."
True health is a vitalistic NOT mechanistic concept. Simply stated vitalism implies that living matter, you, has an essential intelligence or essence that guides, heals, protects and maintains it. This underlying vital force is always present and always working for the greater good of the living being. It does NOT reduce the living entity to a collection of parts and pieces that are individual and not interdependent but instead recognizes the connectivity in all of the cells, tissues, organs and systems in the body as a completely interconnected whole. Due to this "vital" force, the sum of parts is greater than the whole.
Chiropractic is the number ONE vitalistic healing modality in the world. By removing interference to the function of your nervous system, through chiropractic adjustments, your body has the greatest opportunity to maintain itself optimally and heal internally. Chiropractic care is paramount in supporting a healthy lifestyle.
We are here to help, let us know what we can do to assist you in reaching your health care goals.
Sincerely,
Martin Rosen, Nancy Watson and Erin Rosen DCs

The original study, published in the same journal on January 3, 2012, showed that patients suffering from acute neck pain did better with chiropractic adjustments and showed a statistically significant advantage over medication after 8, 12, 26, and 52 week follow ups.(

Chiropractors Don't Raise Stroke Risk, Study Says
Opponents of Chiropractic have attempted a smear campaign over the last several years by suggesting that chiropractic adjustments to the neck increased the risk of a certain type of stroke. This campaign was never based upon any scientific evidence, but rather on biased opinions. A new study to be published in the medical scientific journal "Spine" on February 15, 2008 puts those false accusations to rest and clearly shows that chiropractic does not increase the risks of these types of problems.

According to conservative estimates published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, iatrogenic illness is the third-leading case of death in the United States. More than 120,000 people die from adverse effects of prescribed medications each year. (Starfield 2000) In Null, et al, 2003 is reported that iatrogenic illness is actually the leading cause of death in the United States and that adverse reactions to prescription drugs are responsible for more that 300,000 deaths per year.

Do You Know What a Complete Breath Feels Like?
Erin Rosen, DC
Breathing is a master controller and support to the parasympathetic nervous system. T
he parasympathetic nervous system is often referred to as the "rest and digest" system.
Proper breathing promotes oxygen intake, proper digestion, and balanced energy levels.
Increases
Oxygen supply
Core strength
Improves
Appetite control and satisfaction
Mental focus and clarity
Digestive functioning
Decreases
Fatigue
Anxiety
Overeating
Internal toxins
Abnormal sleep patterns
When you learn to consciously control your breath and breathe deeply you can help balance your emotional states as well as your nervous and immune systems. Your brain uses 20% of the total oxygen supply of your body. Without proper oxygen supply your brain will not function correctly and can even be damaged by sustained decreases in oxygen levels.
The main breathing muscle is the diaphragm, it is controlled by the phrenic nerve located in the neck. The psoas muscle attaches to the crua of the diaphragm and creates balance in its peripheral portion. It is controlled by spinal cord nerves from T5-T12 (mid back). Regular chiropractic adjustments can help facilitate the proper function of the nerves that are responsible for the function of the diaphragm.
So get your spine checked regularly and learn to slow down and breath deeply. Call Today for an appointment 781-237-6673
