Does corrective treatment hurt?

We adjust the force to the level of pain. There is a gentle approach, so children and older patients can receive it too.

If I leave a straight neck alone, does it turn into a cervical disc problem?

It can progress that way. Once the cervical curve flattens, the capacity to absorb impact falls and the disc is pressed continuously.

Are there different types of straight neck?

We separate them by whether the problem sits in the neck alone, or whether imbalance of the shoulders or pelvis comes with it.

Straight Neck and Forward Head Posture

Seen from the side, neck vertebrae that should form a C-curve straighten out or carry the head forward. Left alone it can lead to a cervical disc problem.

Page summary

일자목 증상이 심하다면 목디스크로 진행되기 전에 확인을 받아보시는 편이 낫습니다.

What this page covers

What does this explain?: 교정 치료가 아프지는 않나요?
What situation does it cover?: 허리나 목의 통증으로 불편을 겪고 계신 분
What should be distinguished?: 아픈 자리만 보지 않고 그 자리에 부담을 주고 있는 걸음과 골반, 턱관절의 정렬을 함께 확인합니다. 보행·족압 검사와 체열검사로 재고, 치료한 뒤 같은 방법으로 다시 재서 비교합니다.
How should it be understood?: 옆에서 봤을 때 C자 곡선을 이뤄야 할 목뼈가 일자로 펴지거나 앞으로 빠져나온 상태입니다. 방치하면 목디스크로 이어질 수 있습니다. 통증 정도에 맞춰 힘을 조절합니다. 부드러운 방식이 있어 어린이와 어르신도 받으실 수 있습니다.
