Forward Head Syndrome

As people become more dependent on technology and spend more time on computers and smart phones, there has been a rise in forward head syndrome.  This forward head posture can cause a decrease in the curvature of the spine which leads to a variety of secondary conditions.  The degenerative effects of forward head syndrome can develop without any outward symptoms.  It's important to have your spine checked by a chiropractor to see if these postural abnormalities are present, and have them corrected if they're found.
