For the most part, yes - neck pain is all in our head!

But to be more specific, it's really the structures that support the 8 lbs. of the human head. Lets take a look:

Poor Posture:

Poor posture places tremendous stress on the muscles in the back of the neck. It also causes the neck joints to "lock-up" and limit our head turning to the two uppermost joints of the neck.
 

Some Signs of Distress

• Protruding head

• Hunched back
• Rounded shoulders
• Tense muscles in the neck and shoulders

Proper Posture:

Proper posture in the entire body results in the optimal alignment of all the joints of the spine and minimizes the strain on the supporting muscles.

This position also allows you to use all the joints in your neck, thereby improving your range of motion.

But my muscles are sore!

Its not that the muscles are weak - they are pulling against an immoveable object. Joint restriction (called Subluxations) in your spine effectively pull back against the muscles. You can correct your posture to near perfect, but if you don't get rid of your Subluxations you'll never get complete recovery.

Chiropractors are the only health professional trained exclusively to find and correct Subluxations!
