Understanding Forward Head Posture

and Why Our Oxford Chiropractic Clinic Is The Solution

Do you find yourself constantly hunching over your phone or computer, with your head jutting forward?

You’re not alone! Forward Head Posture (FHP) has become increasingly common in our digital age.In this blog, we’ll uncover the hidden impact of FHP on your health, explore how Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) offers an effective solution, and why booking an appointment with us is the key to regaining a healthier, more aligned posture.

Did you know that the average adult head weighs around 10-12 pounds? For every inch your head tilts forward, the effective weight on your neck increases dramatically. At a 60-degree forward tilt, your neck carries a weight equivalent to 60 pounds!

What is Forward Head Posture (FHP)?

Forward Head Posture occurs when your head shifts forward, rather than being in line with your shoulders. This condition is often linked to prolonged periods of looking down at screens or poor posture habits. The weight of your head in this forward position puts extra strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back.

How Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) Can Help

Targeting the Root Cause

 ABC takes a holistic approach, identifying the underlying spinal misalignments contributing to FHP. ABC chiropractors correct these misalignments, allowing your head and spine to return to a more natural, aligned position.

Restoring the Curve 

The neck’s natural curve, known as the cervical lordosis, is crucial for proper spinal function. ABC helps restore this curve, reducing strain on your neck and improving overall posture.

Improved Mobility

ABC’s gentle and specific adjustments can increase your neck’s range of motion, providing relief from stiffness and discomfort associated with FHP.
