A 2020 study in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care examined how excessive neck bending could exaggerate the stretching of the cervical spine and all of the spinal structures below it.
The researchers noted that "forward head posture can cause a multitude of disorders including cervical radiculopathy, cervicogenic headaches, and cervicogenic dizziness. When the head is well balanced above the shoulders, the load on each vertebra of the cervical spine is spread evenly between the two facet (apophyseal) joints at the back and the intervertebral disc and vertebral body at the front.
Here are 5 effects of forward head posture on your muscles. If you have a forward head posture, consider looking at your jaw. The position of the lower jaw and texting habits can be detrimental to cervical health.
Ensuring proper tongue posture and avoiding looking down at your phone can make a huge difference. In addition, new studies show that correction of cervical lordosis may be associated with an immediate increase in cerebral blood flow.
