Poor posture, and forward head posture is one of the most common underlying causes of neck pain. This type of posture which is common among sedentary people, and office workers places the shoulder joint under extra load.

This type of posture causes the shoulders to round forward, which places extra strain on all of the tissues around the shoulder joint and neck.

On top of our specific chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises and posture correction are crucial to ensuring we help you overcome pain.

Our team is 100% committed to helping you get back to your best and experience a Vibrant life.
