A comprehensive article in Biomed Public Health demonstrated the relationship between the growing incidence of neck and back pain with mental health issues in youth. The authors noted that the primary reason was due to shared neurobiological pathways.
The hypothalamus receives nervous system input from the body and then works to create hormones, which play a large role in mood and mental well-being. Spinal stress and postural imbalances can negatively affect the process and be a primarily cause or significant contributing factor in mental health issues.

Next time a doctor says "the arthritis in your hand, neck, lower back is because of your age" ask him/her why there are still healthy joints, aren't they the same age? It's more likely due to interference of proper function in the joint which will then become inflamed. Arthritis literally mean "joint" (arth) "inflammation" (itis). Inflammation breaks down tissue faster than non-inflammed tissue. Very similar to the tires of your car. Think about it.....If your mechanic said "the reason the outside of your right front tire is worn down is because of the age of your tire". If all your tires were purchased at the same time would you simply just say OK that makes sense? Nope....it's abnormal (alignment) pressure over time. Simple right? Have you had your alignment (posture) checked yet by a Doctor of Chiropractic?
