There's never been a greater need for Chiropractic. Almost every adult has a smart phone and looks down daily for several hours to use it. This study shows the damage that can occur. Chiropractic care can help offset the stressor due to daily digital device usage.

Forward head posture is linked to increased hormones that can raise the risk of DEPRESSION, stunted GROWTH, lowered METABOLISM, and decreased LIBIDO.
---------------------------------------
An article published in 2014(reference in comments) by a Chief of Surgery showed that head forward posture increased the weight on the neck by:
15 degrees forward = added 27lbs
30 degrees = added 40lbs
45 degrees = added 49lbs
60 degrees = added 60 lbs
(And most of these will not cause pain)
---------------------------------------
More proof that an abnormal spine and posture can influence your inside health as much as your outside musculoskeletal health. And this includes kids!
---------------------------------------Chiropractors hold the key to surgery-less health restoration through the power of an adjustment!
Feeling down today? Your spine and posture could be part of the issue...go see the Chiropractor!
