Most of the time, Dropped Head Syndrome is caused by a specific generalized neuromuscular diagnosis. These include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, Parkinson's disease, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, and genetic myopathies.
A 25-year-old recently developed “dropped head syndrome” after spending too much time looking down at his phone. This condition causes weakness in the neck muscles, making it hard to hold the head up straight.

It’s a strong reminder to watch our posture and take breaks from screens. Our necks weren’t made for hours of looking down! Stay mindful, stretch often. Get therapy, and give your body the care it needs.

The calf muscles—especially the soleus and gastrocnemius—function as a “second heart” by helping push blood from the legs back toward the heart.

When they contract, the veins are compressed, and one‑way valves ensure blood moves upward. This action supports venous return and prevents blood from pooling in the lower extremities.

If activity is limited, the calf pump weakens, increasing risks of DVT, varicose veins, and chronic venous issues.

Because the soleus muscle is well-suited for endurance, it is particularly effective at sustaining the pump over time.

Strengthening and stretching the calves—via exercises like calf raises and calf stretches—enhances their function, helping maintain healthy circulation, reduce blood pressure, and protect against clot formation.

Two centuries ago, people mistakenly believed tetanus to be a form of demonic possession due to the abrupt muscle contractions and rigidity experienced by those affected.

Nowadays, it’s understood that tetanus is a bacterial infection impacting the nervous system. Tetanus is an infectious condition triggered by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. When this bacterium infiltrates the body, it releases a toxin leading to severe muscle spasms.

Commonly known as “lockjaw,” tetanus often results in the stiffening of neck and jaw muscles, making it difficult to open the mouth or swallow. The distinctive posture associated with this disease is termed opisthotonos.
