It’s all connected. Are you suffering from chronic headaches and neck pain? If so, your posture due to the pain can be creating another issue – a gluteal contracture.
A gluteal contracture is characterized by tightness and limited mobility in the gluteal muscles. When the muscles are weak, underactive, or tight, they can trigger biomechanical imbalances in the pelvis and hips. This can even lead to instability in the lower spine due to shifting and locking the lower back and sacral joints to support the upper portion of your body, head, and neck.
But wait, there’s hope in breaking the cycle!
By addressing underlying causes and encouraging muscle balance, we have your back and strive to minimize the chances of your head and neck pain becoming a pain in the bum – quite literally!
Your journey towards relief starts with taking action that will address improper spinal structure and unrelenting muscle tension. Call for an appointment at Oak Park Chiropractic today. You only have the pain to lose!
For Your Health,
