If someone told you there was something that could be done to increase your health status and decrease your chance of dying early with very little effort would you be listening?
Forward
head posture is one of the most common abnormal postures in our society. 90%
of the population has some degree of forward head posture.Why is it bad? According the the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, older men and women with hyperkyphotic posture (rounded hump) have higher mortality rates. That means you are more likely to die early.
The Journal Spine states all measures of health showed poorer scores as C7 plumbing deviation (forward head & body) increased.In other words those with forward head posture have a lower health status.
There are 2 reasons for Forward head posture:
1. Spinal breakdown
2. Poor postural habits
Most of you have had improvements in forward head posture with Upper Cervical Chiropractic but there are ways to reduce it further.
One great way is the POSTURE PAL PILLOW.This therapeutic cushion is specifically designed to remodel the tissues and retrain you to keep an upright posture by laying on it for 15-20 minutes a day (this is not to sleep on). If you have forward head posture, a reduced curve in your neck or a hump over your shoulders, this is the help you need. Posture Pal's are available at our clinic.

Omega for Life
Few
health products can compare to omega-3 for documented health benefits.
Thousands of scientific studies have confirmed that a deficiency of
omega-3 leads to a cellular breakdown that is a key factor in the
development of a wide variety of serious diseases – heart disease,
cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease among them.
Your body cannot produce omega-3, and so depends on you to supply it
through your diet. The most reliable way to do that is with a high
quality supplement.
Omega-3 For Life is an omega-3 supplement of the highest possible
Quality, Purity, and Therapeutic Value. For that reason it is available
only through licensed healthcare professionals.
