Multimodal Care Is Effective for Treating Patients with Upper Cross Syndrome.

Upper cross syndrome is a condition characterized by tightness in the muscles of the chest, upper back, and posterior side of neck and weakness in the muscles located in the mid back and front of the neck. This results in the classic forward-head posture and rounded shoulders. In a recent study that included 40 patients with upper cross syndrome, researchers found that a multimodal approach—which included manual therapies, stabilization exercises, posture correction training, and ergonomic advice, all of which are used by doctors of chiropractic—is an effective intervention for improving posture and reducing pain and disability.
