The Result of Poor Alignment

If phrases like “My back is out” or “I’ve got a crick in my neck” hit close to home, your spine might be sending you an SOS. Welcome to the world of spinal kinesiopathology – a fancy term for when your spine isn’t moving or aligning as it should.

Think of your spine as the freeway of your nervous system; when it’s out of alignment, your body can’t run smoothly. Whether it’s “text neck” from too much phone time or the aftermath of an awkward lift, poor alignment can ripple through your body, causing everything from headaches to fatigue.

Give your spine some TLC – it’s been holding you up for years!

Adult Spinal Deformity

The Silent Menace

Adult Spinal Deformity Outweighs Other Chronic Conditions in Health Drama

When you think of health-related quality of life (HRQL) concerns, chronic conditions like arthritis, lung disease, diabetes, and congestive heart failure probably top your list.

But hold onto your lumbar support because Adult Spinal Deformity is here to steal the spotlight. We reveal how Adult Spinal Deformity is not just a Spinal issue – it is a Life issue.

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.

Loss of Neck Curve Reduces Blood Flow to the Brain

Blood flow to the Brain is affected by the curve in your Neck

Decreased Vertebral Artery Haemodynamics in Patients with Loss of Cervical Lordosis.

An interesting study by Bulut MD et. al. 2016 of relevance to virtually all patients who visit a chiropractor shows a correlation between the curve in your neck and blood flow to the brain.

That is right – the correct curve in your neck allows the blood to flow to your brain in an optimal fashion.

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.

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.
