UPPER CROSS SYNDROME⁣
It’s not just about posture—it’s about imbalance.⁣
⁣
This common postural distortion happens when the muscles in the front of the body become overactive and tight, while key stabilizing muscles in the back become weak and underused. It’s often caused by long hours at a desk, adjusting patients, scrolling, or training without balance.⁣
⁣
⸻⁣
⁣
Common Signs:⁣
• Forward head posture⁣
• Rounded shoulders⁣
• Tight pecs + upper traps⁣
• Weak mid-back + deep neck flexors⁣
• Neck tension, headaches, chest or collarbone pain⁣
• Shoulder impingement or instability⁣
• Feeling “tight” even after stretching⁣
⁣
⸻⁣
⁣
What to Do:⁣
• Release tight areas (pecs, traps, SCM)⁣
• Activate postural stabilizers (rhomboids, lower traps, serratus, deep neck flexors)⁣
• Re-train spinal alignment and breathing⁣
• Integrate strength with mobility—don’t just stretch⁣
⁣
⸻⁣
⁣
This isn’t just about looking upright—it’s about feeling better, moving better, and creating resilience from the inside out.⁣

Shoot me a message or book a posture session.⁣
You can realign and feel strong again.⁣

On the outside, I might look fine…⁣
⠀⁣
But under the surface, things are different.⁣
⠀⁣
As a chiropractor, I see hundreds of patients every week.⁣
I spend hours adjusting, caring, and listening.⁣
But behind the scenes, I’ve been managing my own issues—⁣
fatigue, stress, neck pain, and deeper structural problems that don’t always show.⁣
⠀⁣
These are my actual x-rays—and they tell a story my face doesn’t.⁣
⠀⁣
The loss of curve in my neck—even though it’s not considered severe—⁣it can still create real problems.⁣
Over time, it can lead to disc compression, subluxations, and pressure on the brachial plexus,⁣
which causes pain, numbness, tingling into the arms, and even severe neck pain.⁣
⠀⁣
These aren’t just structural changes—they’re functional ones.⁣
And they affect how I feel every single day.⁣
⠀⁣
I’m not sharing this for sympathy.⁣
I’m sharing it because maybe you’re going through something hidden too.⁣
⠀⁣
I wouldn’t be functioning the way I am without consistent chiropractic care—⁣
but also without putting in the work to take care of myself outside the office.⁣
⠀⁣
Health is a daily journey.⁣
⠀⁣
Just because someone looks okay on the outside…⁣
doesn’t mean they are.⁣
⠀⁣
That’s why I believe in looking deeper, listening better,⁣
and adjusting more than bones—⁣
we need to adjust how we care.⁣
⠀⁣
If you’re going through something unseen, you’re not alone.⁣

Chiropractic care may hold the key to unlocking relief from migraines. Groundbreaking studies have shown that targeted spinal adjustments can make a profound difference.⁣
⁣
Research Insights: An extensive review of 6,000 chronic headache sufferers by Braaf and Rosener found that a “complete or segmental loss or reversal of the normal lordotic curve of the cervical spine is the most consistent characteristic feature and often the only abnormality.” Correcting these spinal abnormalities through chiropractic adjustments can significantly alleviate headache symptoms.⁣
⁣
Scientific Validation: Additional research by Vernon indicates a high incidence of straightened and reverse curve configurations in chronic tension and migraine headache patients. This supports the benefits of chiropractic manipulations in restoring natural spinal curvature.⁣
⁣
Statistical Significance: A study by Nagasawa compared 372 tension headache sufferers with a control group of 225 non-headache individuals, identifying cervical kyphosis and low set shoulders as significant markers in the headache group. Addressing these issues through targeted chiropractic care offers a promising path to relief.⁣
⁣
The Importance of Consistent Care: Regular chiropractic adjustments aim to correct these misalignments and prevent the onset of migraine triggers. Each session builds towards sustained wellness.⁣
⁣
A Holistic Approach: Our comprehensive treatment plans consider lifestyle and environmental factors that may contribute to your symptoms, ensuring our care addresses both immediate pain and its underlying causes.⁣

How I became a chiropractor:

In 2010, I had graduated from CU Boulder with a bachelors in Philosophy. My initial plan was to become a lawyer. By chance, I was in the worst car accident of my life, resulting in torn ligaments in my shoulders, musculoskeletal problems, and neurological problems (including vertigo, pain/tingling/numbness throughout my body).

I was treated for my problems, but I was told that I would never be 100% and I would have to live with them for the rest of my life. The biggest problems were the neurological issues because my vertigo and P/T/N was causing me to have panic attacks and anxiety. This is because the world felt like it was constantly shifting and spinning; couple this with my P/T/N, I made me feel like I was constantly having a heart attack, and that I had no control over my body.

Needless to say, I felt defeated when I was told I would never get better.

My father is a chiropractor. I had always been adjusted at a young age, but I never understood the power of it. I ended up getting adjusted consistently and in doing so, my vertigo and P/T/N decreased to the point where they were non-existent. My life was changed.
