Forward Head Posture & Athletic Performance

Forward Head Posture: The Quiet Assassin of Athletic Prowess

In the race for athletic greatness, Forward Head Posture (FHP) is the uninvited guest you didn’t know was ruining your party. Dubbed the “text neck” of our times, FHP isn’t just about looking like you’re searching for lost change on the ground. It’s a biomechanical misstep that sneaks in to sabotage your speed, balance, and power.

Studies show athletes with FHP (CVA under 55°) jump lower, balance shakier, and run slower—because who needs agility, right? Plus, FHP slows nerve signals by up to 20%, turning your body’s internal Wi-Fi into dial-up. Fix your posture, and let your performance (and head) soar!

Neck Curvature Affects Blood Flow to the Brain

Neck Curvature Affects Blood Flow to Your Brain

The Crucial Role of Neck Curvature in Brain Health

Recent research by Bulut MD et al. reveals that the natural curve of your neck, known as cervical lordosis, is vital for maintaining optimal blood flow to the brain. A loss of this curvature appears to significantly reduce vertebral artery diameter and blood flow, and could theoretically lead to cognitive decline, dizziness, and increased stroke risk.

Chiropractic Biophysics Care can restore proper cervical alignment, perhaps ensuring your brain receives the blood supply it needs. Prioritising spinal health through regular Chiropractic visits and mindful posture practices is essential for maintaining overall well-being and may improve brain function.

Where’s your Denny? Bali?

For effective spinal health care that continues outside of The Spinal Centre, the Denneroll Spinal Orthotics provide an effective stretch to your muscles and spine.

We encourage those who are involved in the rehabilitation at The Spinal Centre to use the Denneroll regularly at home to further enhance the traction and exercises done in clinic.

Addition of a Sagittal Cervical Posture Corrective Orthotic Device to a Multimodal Rehabilitation Program Improves Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Discogenic Cervical Radiculopathy

PUBLISHED: Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2016 Dec;97(12):2034-2044. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2016.07.022. Epub 2016 Aug 27. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27576192

AUTHORS: Moustafa IM, Diab AA, Taha S, Harrison DE.

CONCLUSIONS: The addition of the Denneroll cervical orthotic device to a multimodal program positively affected discogenic CR outcomes at long-term follow-up.

We speculate that improved cervical lordosis and reduced AHT contributed to our findings.

Chiropractic BioPhysics Research Update

Chiropractic BioPhysics leads the way with Scientific Research

Surgeons, Neurologists and Physiotherapists supporting Postural and Structural Correction

We are in exciting times with regard to Chiropractic BioPhysics Research and our clinical work @ The Spinal Centre. Multiple landmark papers and clinical trials have been recently published that will enhance the care of all patients attending the Practice.

To kick off the year – and it is a particularly ground breaking study – is the link between increased blood flow to the brain after restoring the curve with in the neck.

That’s right! Increased Cerebral Blood Flow, evidenced on brain magnetic resonance angiogram, following correction of Cervical Lordosis.

Increase in Cerebral Blood Flow indicated by increased Cerebral Arterial area and pixel intensity on brain magnetic resonance angiogram following correction of Cervical Lordosis.

PUBLISHED: Brain Circ. 2019 Jan-Mar;5(1):19-26. doi: 10.4103/bc.bc_25_18. Epub 2019 Mar 27. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31001596

AUTHORS: Katz EA1, Katz SB1, Fedorchuk CA2, Lightstone DF2, Banach CJ1, Podoll JD3.

RESULTS: Pixel intensity increased 23.0%-225.9%, and a Student’s t-test determined that the increase was significant (P < 0.001). Regression analysis of the change in pixel intensity versus the cervical lordosis showed that as the deviation from a normal cervical lordosis increases, percentage change in pixel intensity on MRA decreases.

CONCLUSION: These results indicate that correction of cervical lordosis may be associated with an immediate increase in cerebral blood flow.

Where Is Your Denny? Japan!

Where is Your Denny? Japan.

For Spinal and Postural Correction that continues outside the Practice, Denneroll provides a scientifically valid and clinically effective spinal orthotic to enhance your health.

Fifteen to twenty minutes is all that is required to achieve good curve correction.

It is an integral part of your care. Remember to get the best results – you will have to do your home work.

This is Dean using his Denny while away in Japan. We are not sure if he was actually travelling or just threw out his bed at home. He assures us he was OS.
