Craniosacral therapy can help reduce Forward Head Posture. Make your appointment today.

According to a recent study, forward head position and blood flow to the brain are clinically observable by taking the carotid pulses and can lead to debilitating symptoms within the brain.

The carotid pulses are weaker when the head is in a forward position; however, the carotid pulses are stronger when the head is over the spine.

When the head is forward over the spine, the brain may not receive sufficient blood flow and oxygen due to compression of the carotid arteries. If this compression is severe enough, it can result in cerebral ischemia (CNS dysfunction). Clinically, we see disturbed sleeping patterns, increased anxiety, and mental N sluggishness.

The March 2000 Mayo Clinic reported that prolonged FHP also leads to myospasm, disc herniations, arthritis, and pinched nerves.

Dr. Alf Breig, a Swedish neurosurgeon and Nobel Prize recipient, describes how the loss of a normal cervical lordotic curve creates dysfunction and disease.

Through cadaver studies, Dr. Breig demonstrated that neck flexion could stretch the spinal cord 5-7 cm causing tensioning of the meninges (covering of the brain and spinal cord) and elicit measurable pressure on brainstem nuclei (nerve control centers) which control all basic life functions. (Breig, Alf.
Adverse Mechanical Tension in the Central Nervous System: An Analysis of Cause and Effect. 1978. Almqvuist & Wiksell
International, Stockholm, Sweden. Pg. 177.)

New studies show that correction of cervical lordosis may be associated with an immediate increase in cerebral blood flow.

🦌 Hunters — protect your back this rut season!
Dragging a deer out of the woods can be tough work. Use these good body mechanics to keep your spine in shape and avoid post-hunt soreness:

✅ Bend at your knees and hips — not your waist
✅ Keep your back straight and core engaged
✅ Hold the rope close to your body
✅ Use a drag harness or sled when possible
✅ Watch your footing on uneven terrain
✅ Take breaks and stretch along the way

Your spine deserves a trophy, too!
If your back feels off after a long day in the woods, we’ve got your back. 💪🍂
