Many people suffer from neck pain and upper back tension in Conroe TX.  What many people do not know is that they may be suffering from the effects of forward head posture.  It was found that "for every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds." (Kapandji, Physiology of the Joints, Volume 3)  In fact, long-term forward head posture may lead to "long-term muscle strain, disc herniation, and pinched nerves." (Mayo Clinic Health Letter, March 2000)
