![]() Your arms should hang loosely at your side with your palms facing forward. That is, sit at the edge of a chair with your legs hip-width apart. Perform Bruegger’s Maneuver (also known as Bruegger’s Exercise). Limit your electronic usage, such as taking time away from your phone, laptop, or notebook. Keep your head directly above your shoulders. Have a chiropractor check you for neck bone misalignment. So, what should you do to promote proper neck curvature? In addition, degenerative disc disease, congenital issues, spine surgery, tumors, and infections can all cause misalignment of the spinal bones of the neck. ![]() Furthermore, benign traumas, such as sitting with poor posture and poor sleeping habits-like sleeping on your stomach or too many pillows under your neck, can negatively affect the neck bones’ alignment. Physical stresses like car accidents, slips, falls, and sports injuries can change the alignment of the neck bones. Simply, both major and minor traumas to the body causes changes in the neck curvature. ![]() What causes a change in the neck curvature? Your head weighs about as much as a bowling ball and if you neck curvature is incorrect the weight of your head will make the curvature worse over time. The correct neck curvature is very important to the health of the neck bones, the health of the neck’s intervertebral disks (protective cartilage between the bones), as well as keeping your neck mobile and pain free. The curve should not be too much or too little … just the right amount. Your neck bones (vertebrae), if positioned properly should form a specific degree of forward curve. doi:10.4102/ blog post from Ann Arbor chiropractor Mike Tannenbaum, D.C.: How You Lose the Correct Neck Bone Alignment, and How to Restore It The effect of sacroiliac chiropractic adjustments on innominate angles.
