Forward Head Posture in Lithia FL

Forward Head Posture Correction with Chiropractic BioPhysics®

Forward Head Posture (FHP) is far more than just a “tech neck” issue caused by looking down at phones or computers—it’s a structural condition that places enormous stress on the spine and nervous system. For every inch the head shifts forward, the effective weight on the cervical spine increases by up to 10–12 pounds. In many cases, this means your neck and upper back are carrying the strain of 40–60 extra pounds every day. This excess load accelerates spinal degeneration, contributes to disc and joint problems, and often leads to headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue.

At STRONGLIFE Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, we correct the root cause of FHP using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®)—the most evidence-based approach to spinal alignment. Through a combination of Mirror-Image® adjustments, corrective exercises, and spinal remodeling traction, we focus on restoring the natural curve of the neck. Research has shown that improving cervical lordosis can reduce pain, improve function, and enhance overall quality of life:

• Harrison et al. demonstrated that restoring cervical curvature with extension traction leads to long-term pain reduction and structural correction https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15129202/
• Shilton et al. reported that correcting cervical lordosis improves neck disability scores and quality of life outcomes https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30131384/
• Lee (2016) found that Forward Head Posture negatively impacts balance and respiratory efficiency https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4755975/
