So this is the cervical spine on X-ray.
We have the back of your head, the jaw
coming down. You’ve got those same C
seven cervical vertebrae. You have the
disc spaces in between. And so normally
we should see this as a reverse C curve
instead of straight like it is. And so
what happens a lot of time when we end
up with tension in the neck and the
upper back is we call it tax neck. Our
head comes forward and that increases
pressure. The normal ED weighs 10 to 20
lb for each each inch it comes forward.
It adds an additional 10 lb of pressure.
So a lot of times when we’re on our
laptop or our cell phone and we’re in
that flex position, it’ll add 50 to 60
lbs of pressure. And so over time, if
we’re in that position, we round the
shoulders forward, head comes forward
due to that muscle memory. And so the
longer those bad habits persist, the
more time it takes to reverse it that
way.
