Upper Crossed Syndrome
A Key Condition Treated at SpineCare
Upper Crossed Syndrome is a common muscle imbalance we frequently address at SpineCare. It occurs when the neck flexor muscles and middle back muscles weaken, while the pectoral muscles and muscles at the base of the skull tighten. This imbalance results in pain patterns in the neck and shoulders, as well as joint dysfunction in both areas.
Types Of Pain
Several factors contribute to the development of Upper Crossed Syndrome, including:
Prolonged sitting
(desk jobs)
Driving for
extended hours
Poor
Posture
Prevention & Treatments
Prevention is essential for avoiding this condition. We recommend minimizing long periods of sitting, taking regular breaks, and incorporating short walks to reset your posture throughout the day.
If Upper Crossed Syndrome or other neck-related pain has already developed, our chiropractors can teach you proper posture techniques to avoid further issues. We offer a range of treatments, including:
- Soft tissue techniques to relax tight muscles
- Motion restoration to reduce pain levels
- Rehabilitative exercises to reverse damage and prevent progression
