San Diego Chiropractor: Severe Spinal Damage at Zero MPH

Do you sit at a computer all day?  Do you sit behind the steering wheel of your car every day?  Do you sit on the couch and watch TV every day?

All of these things are most likely a part of your lifestyle.  All of these things contribute to POSTURAL DECAY and have an impact on your health, quality of life and longevity.  Severe spinal damage at zero MPH is exactly what happens over many years.  Subtle structural changes develop into obvious health challenges.

Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a very common result of postural decay.  FHP causes an increase in the effective weight of the head to the tune of 10 additional pounds per every one inch.  The effects of FHP includes muscle strain, disc herniations, osteoarthritis, fatigue, headaches, and many other undesireable effects.

There are two action steps that I recommend: 1) have an ergonomic evaluation of your workstation (see image below), and 2) find a high level chiropractor in your area to provide  a detailed posture evaluation as well as a spine and nervous system check-up.
