In our daily lives we spend hours hunched over a phone or computer. This places a heavy load on the 1st cervical vertebra — the atlas.
1As a result
- Headache
- Neck pain
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
Over time, this tension can compress the nerves and lead to headaches, insomnia, numbness in the arms and even vision problems.
2Where does this chain end?
Phone → neck → tension → nerve compression → a future problem that ends in an MRI. The good news is that these problems are fixable: with osteopathy we find the cause, release the nerve compression and bring the body back into balance.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
