Have you ever noticed that certain people with certain jobs all have similar personality’s for the most part? Like accounts, computer programmers, and so on. The same holds true for the way that certain jobs affect the spine. Computer jobs for instance create certain poor postures in the neck. I see this every day in my office as a Bellevue chiropractor! In fact it has become so common here in Bellevue WA, that I have named this type of neck a “Bellevue Neck”.

The reason that computer jobs do this to the neck is all mechanical in nature. If you wrench a structure into an unnatural position and then keep it there for long enough, its going to stay there. This is what happens to the neck and head.

My post doctorate study’s are in chiropractic neurology through the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies. In neurological text we call this bending “plasticity”. Now the good news is that “plasticity” goes both ways. In the negative, getting stuck out of position. In the positive, being able to make changes back to the correct position.

Bellevue neck is when the head drifts too far forward over the shoulders and normal curve in the neck is lost. This is bad, because it causes undue stress to the entire body, and over time can actually create pain and discomfort.

I work with patients on a daily basis who’s neck pain, mid back pain, headaches, tmj, and so on, are due to their “Bellevue Neck”. The key is to reverse the damages done and then prevent them from happening again. Chiropractic care is the best suited form of treatment for cases of Bellevue neck, and specific exercises are important to keep your spine in place.
