Can my Neck being off Contribute to my Cold?

Misalignment's in the Spine Create
Pressure Elsewhere in the Body

Short answer is Yes.  For your body to work 100%, you need to have good alignment.  If your neck hurts or you have a neck muscle strain it won't.  This tells me you may have a misaligned neck.

Misalignment's mean pressure on nerves.  Pressure there means that the body doesn't work at it's best.  All communication comes from the brain down.  Any interference whatsoever means a decrease in the body's function and your health.

Also, keep in mind there are nerves that go to the nose and sinuses, etc... Things you especially need working when recouping from a cold.

Get that neck back in alignment to start your healing process!

Posture may Affect more than just your Health

Posture Plays A Role in How
Someone Acts

A study at Kellogg School of Management showed that posture plays a role in how someone acts. In this case, if someone acts more in charge or has more “power.”

There is no question posture has a psychological benefit besides a physical health benefit. We know that good posture means good spinal alignment. If we have this, then we have a body that works and functions normally. We have no pressure on nerves and joints have less stress.

Now, think about it- you’re feeling sad, down: what happens to your posture? You look down, your head shifts forward and down, your shoulders roll in. This posture is not so good for neck and back alignment, is it? Now you’re feeling happy: you just won a raffle (which never happens, you never win anything). You’re happy, you feel really good. Look at your posture now, it’s good: your head is up, you are smiling, you feel strong!

This is exactly what I’m talking about. We know our mind plays a big role in our physical health, just think about someone who is often stressed out or depressed, I can guarantee they start to have health problems.

By improving your posture you can improve your health mentally and physically. Start by correcting your neck posture and everything else will start to fall into place.

Suffering From Neck orBack Pain? Look to Your Posture...

Just today I saw a new patient in our office with neck and back pain. She was sitting on our exam table when I entered the room. Due to her severe pain I decided to do as much as I could with her in the seated position because I knew it would bother her neck to move around much.

I was feeling the spine and asked her to sit up as much as possible and look straight ahead. Then she noted to me; “my whole life I’ve had bad posture”. Why is this important?


-Posture is a window to our spinal alignment-

If someone comes in to see me, and I notice that their head is tilted, or forward, etc…you better believe that their cervical spine looks like that. This is extremely important because every millimeter of shift or malposition means that there is a greater likelihood of nerve pressure.

Misalignments may not be causing pain right now but if left alone it usually gets worse and then there will be pain…or arm discomfort…or headaches…or worse. The nervous system is our bodies control panel, interference will cause a problem; if not immediate it will happen somewhere down the road.

Using tools like the cltraction pillow, linear gravity pillow, or the posture corrector can help improve neck and back posture and keep your nerves free from interference.
