Neck adjustments have become a key service in our office as more people suffer from forward head posture, sometimes called tech neck. This happens when the head leans too far forward from its natural position. It usually comes from looking down at phones, tablets, and laptops for long periods. This posture may not cause pain right away, but over time, it puts pressure on the neck and upper back, leading to stiffness, soreness, and chronic tension.

How Long-Term Tech Use Changes Your Spine
When the head stays forward, the spine begins to shift. The muscles in the neck and shoulders work harder to hold the head up, and this creates strain. It can also cause headaches, numbness in the arms, and even changes in breathing patterns. Left untreated, the posture gets worse. We often see people who are surprised by how far off their alignment has become over the years.

The Role of Chiropractic Neck Adjustments
We use neck adjustments to guide the spine back into a healthier position gently. Our goal is to reduce pressure on the joints and surrounding muscles. Once proper alignment is restored, we often see a drop in muscle tension and an increase in range of motion. These adjustments are part of a broader care plan. We also teach better movement habits and help you learn how to hold your posture without strain.

Real Benefits That Build Over Time
Correcting forward head posture takes commitment. The earlier we begin, the easier it is to reverse the changes. For many of our patients, regular neck adjustments not only ease discomfort but also help prevent further problems. Over time, posture becomes more natural again, which improves comfort, sleep, and daily function.

At Cornerstone Chiropractic, we prioritize long-term spine health over short-term relief. If you’ve been experiencing pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility while sitting or using screens, it may be time to take a closer look at your posture.
