Well done for the lads on the weekend.
Nice to see the young cubs getting a tune up in Clinic prior to the big race.
Does improvement towards a normal Cervical Sagittal configuration aid in the management of Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome
PUBLISHED: BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2018 Nov 12;19(1):396. doi: 10.1186/s12891-018-2317-y. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30419868
AUTHORS: Moustafa IM, Diab AA, Hegazy F, Harrison DE.
CONCLUSION: The addition of the denneroll cervical orthotic to a multimodal program positively affected chronic myofascial cervical pain syndrome (CMCPS) outcomes at long term follow up.
Association between Cervical Lordotic Curvature and Cervical Muscle cross‐sectional area in patients with Loss of Cervical Lordosis
PUBLISHED: Clin Anat. 2018 Jul;31(5):710-715. doi: 10.1002/ca.23074. Epub 2018 Apr 14. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29575212
AUTHORS: Yoon SY1, Moon HI1, Lee SC2, Eun NL3, Kim YW2.
CONCLUSION: There is a significant relationship between cervical muscle imbalance, including extensor muscle weakness, and loss of cervical lordosis.
Spinal Centre Note: Muscular strengthening needs to be combined with structural correction of the cervical lordosis to obtain the best outcome.
Does improvement towards a normal Cervical Sagittal configuration aid in the management of Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
PUBLISHED: 2015, Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 14 (2). Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4523573/

Proceedings of the 13th World Federation of Chiropractic Biennial Congress / ECU Convention, Athens, Greece, May 13-16, 2015. Paper #184 Mediterranean Region Award Winning Paper.
INITIAL CONCLUSIONS: Improvement of normal cervical sagittal configuration aids in the management and rehabilitation of patients with lumbosacral disc disruption and radiculopathy.
Determining the relationship between Cervical Lordosis and Neck Complaints
PUBLISHED: J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2005 Mar-Apr;28(3):187-93. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15855907
AUTHORS: McAviney J, Schulz D, Bock R, Harrison DE, Holland B.
RESULTS: Patients with lordosis of 20 degrees or less were more likely to have cervicogenic symptoms.
The association between cervical pain and lordosis of 0 degrees or less was significant.
Patients with cervical pain had less lordosis and this was consistent over all age ranges.
CONCLUSION: We found a statistically significant association between cervical pain and lordosis < 20 degrees and a “clinically normal” range for cervical lordosis of 31 degrees to 40 degrees.
Maintenance of a lordosis in the range of 31 degrees to 40 degrees could be a clinical goal for chiropractic treatment.
