Hunching over your phone or your desk for hours, day in and day out, chisels away at your posture and spine health. Over time, this leads to the development of a hump on the back of your neck known as a dowager’s hump. Medically referred to as kyphosis, a dowager’s hump causes pain through the neck and shoulders, headaches, and fatigue.

You can prevent it by:
✅ Being mindful of your posture when sitting down
✅ Holding your phone at eye level
✅ Taking frequent breaks to stretch or walk around and reset your posture
✅ Making adjustments to your workspace, so that your field of vision falls in the middle of your screen
✅ Strengthening your core and upper back muscles

If you have a worsening curve in your upper back or persistent neck pain despite self-care and lifestyle adjustments, reach out to us to book an appointment with one of our spine experts, Dr. Alex Ha or Dr. David Kruger. 📞 (860) 728-6740

“It’s just a bruise", you say.

It may look like one, but if it is accompanied by:
- Swelling and tenderness
- Inability to bear weight
- Pain that keeps you up, wakes you up, or intensifies with time

It’s worth a closer look, as it’s definitely NOT just a bruise.

Going in for an appointment with your AONE doctor? Make the most out of it by being a STAR patient:

S – Say where it hurts (Tell us the exact location)
T – Tell us when and how it started (e.g., five months ago, after a fall)
A – Assess the intensity (Use the 1–10 scale to describe how bad it is)
R – Reveal what makes it better or worse and what it feels like (i.e., Does it throb, burn, or ache?)

Also, let us know if there are any accompanying symptoms, such as swelling, stiffness, weakness, numbness, or if the pain is constant or sporadic. Remember, the more we know, the better we can help.

🥊 Boxing, wrestling, martial arts… Few things match the thrill of these sports. They are fast and dynamic, and they fuel your competitive spirit. But all that intensity comes at a cost. Your shoulders, knees, and hips bear the brunt of every hit, squat, strike, and twist.

If training for any of these sports left you limping, aching, or wincing for longer than you should, don't tough it out. AONE’s sports medicine specialists are here to get you back to doing what you love—stronger, better, and pain-free. Book now at (860) 728-6740.
