(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 02, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- Forward Head Position is a condition wherein the head of a person does not rest directly on the neck and shoulders. This is usually caused by long hours in uncomfortable position, aging, injuries in the neck and shoulders, and improper breathing habits. When the head is positioned forward, the neck and shoulders get strained. Forward Head Position is found to be the cause of most neck and back pains.
It is important to address Forward Head Position to relieve the upper body off pain and strain. It is recommended that patients use neck traction devices at the onset of the condition to prevent it from worsening. In the long run, poor neck posture could lead to herniated discs, pinched nerves, instability, migraine, and arthritis, to say the least.
According to the website Neck Solutions, every inch that the head is positioned forward is an additional 10 pounds to the weight of the head of a person. This extra weight negatively affects the neck, jaw, shoulders and back. The farther the head is from the body, the more the problem should be addressed.
There are a lot of solutions to Forward Head Position. Retraction and nodding exercises are helpful in making neck and shoulder muscles stronger. These exercises, when done every so often in between long hours sitting, also somehow try to put back the head in its proper position. Using back support and seat cushion while sitting for long hours is also recommended to improve one's posture.
In addition, use of home cervical neck traction devices is also recommended. Patients could choose over-the-door traction devices or the more portable and comfortable neck traction collars. In particular, Syrtenty® neck traction collars decompress the spine and neck, aiding the patient in achieving and maintaining proper posture throughout the day.
Syrtenty® has soft and rubber neck traction collars that serve different purposes. The former inflates both horizontally and vertically, doubling as a neck pillow while sitting, and during long flights and drives. The latter inflates vertically only, providing more decompression. Nevertheless, both types of neck traction collars correct Forward Head Position.
Midwest Health Solutions is an authorized seller of soft and rubber neck traction devices from Syrtenty®, which could be purchased in Amazon.
