Did you know your headaches could be coming from your posture and spinal alignment?

Our very own Dr. Emily experienced this first hand, and it is actually how we were driven to practice corrective chiropractic care. After over a decade of adjustments, Dr. Emily still suffered from migraine headaches. The adjustments had helped her with other things, as well as great spinal hygiene practice, but the fact remained she still had migraines. It was not until the cause of her headaches was found and corrected, that she no longer had migraines. The cause for her came from a cervical kyphosis, aka the curve in her neck was going the wrong direction. This was putting way too much stress on her spinal nerves, putting her body into a stress (sympathetic fight or flight state), resulting in migraines. To this day she has not had a migraine headache since changing the curve to a more optimal position.

We also see symptoms from this type of posture such as: numbness in the hands or fingers, mid back back pain, rounding of the shoulders, poor immune function, fatigue, and even low back pain just to name a few.
