Your head is remarkably heavy, weighing between 10 and 12 pounds, and it is the primary job of the seven small vertebrae in your neck to support and balance this weight all day long. In our modern, forward-facing world, this task has become increasingly difficult. Neck pain, whether it feels like a dull, constant ache, a sharp, catching pain, or a debilitating stiffness that limits your movement, is often a direct result of the immense strain placed on this delicate structure. At Two Trees Chiropractic Clinic, we frequently see patients whose neck pain is linked to what is commonly known as "tech neck" or forward head posture. For every inch your head drifts forward from its ideal alignment over your shoulders, the functional weight and strain on your cervical spine increases exponentially. This chronic forward pull can lead to muscle fatigue and strain, inflammation of the joints, pressure on the nerves, and even changes to the natural curve of the neck over time. For the people of Duncanville, these postural stresses are a part of everyday life—accumulating during long hours at a desk, while looking down at a smartphone, or even during the daily commute. Our chiropractic approach is focused on understanding and counteracting these specific modern stressors, aiming to restore proper alignment and relieve the accumulated burden on your neck.
