The natural alignment of your neck
If your spine is out of alignment, your body expends more energy to just keep you upright and balanced. Your pain may therefore be a warning sign that your spine is out of alignment and this may have serious consequences for your overall vitality and health.
Your head should be in a neutral position directly on top of your shoulders, allowing your ears to directly lineup with the middle of your shoulders. Any variation from this ‘norm’ may cause problems. This image shows how your spinal nerves, vertebrae and discs sit together in your neck.
