The space between the bottom of the skull and the top of the shoulders is known as the cervical spine or the neck. The role of the neck is to support the heavy weight of the head. Anything from sleeping wrong to tech-related neck strain can damage the cervical spine. Luckily, there are many neck pain stretches to help alleviate discomfort.

Managing sleeping positions can be challenging as you are asleep and may move unconsciously. A helpful tip is to ensure you fall asleep with good posture to minimize restlessness, as this will keep your body aligned and comfortable. Sleeping on your stomach can strain your spine and increase pressure, potentially causing herniated discs in your neck if your head is turned to the side. If possible, opt for sleeping on your back or side with a small knee support pillow for better rest.

Orthotics might be essential depending on your condition.
Keep an eye out for the following symptoms:
-Foot pain while standing
-Foot pain during walking

-Achilles tendonitis
-Morton’s neuroma

”Cracking” your neck incorrectly or too often can have negative consequences rather than benefits. The neck houses numerous nerves and blood vessels; improper cracking can result in pinched nerves, punctured blood vessels, and blood clots. Additionally, it may strain the muscles and joints in the neck region. Regularly cracking your neck can lead to permanent stretching and harm to the nearby ligaments, known as perpetual instability. This condition increases the likelihood of developing osteoarthritis in the future.

Our clinic will be closed on Canada Day, and reopen on Tuesday, July 2nd at 9 am. If you would like an appointment for Tuesday, please leave us a message and we will return your call Tuesday morning. Wishing you all a wonderful Canada Day!
