What is a Neck Hump and How Does It Develop?
As mentioned, a neck hump is often the result of forward head posture and a loss of the cervical curve. Poor posture from prolonged phone or computer use, previous injuries, or spinal degeneration causes the head to drift forward, increasing the effective weight on the neck and upper back. Over time, this abnormal alignment leads to muscle tension, ligament strain, and nerve irritation, which are common contributors to chronic headaches and migraines.

How Forward Head Posture and Loss of Cervical Curve Trigger Headaches and Migraines
Forward head posture shifts the center of gravity of the head away from its ideal position, placing extra load on the cervical spine and surrounding musculature. This added stress triggers tension in the neck and upper back muscles, irritates nerves, and can even affect blood flow, all of which can lead to persistent headaches and migraine episodes. Many patients don’t realize that these biomechanical factors are often the underlying cause of their pain, which is why standard headache treatments like medications may only offer temporary relief.
Why Traditional Chiropractic Often Falls Short
Traditional chiropractic care focuses primarily on restoring motion in stiff or restricted joints through adjustments. While this approach is excellent for relieving acute pain and improving mobility, it often does not address postural deformities like forward head posture or loss of the cervical curve. Without correcting the spine’s alignment and retraining soft tissues to hold a proper curve, the underlying biomechanical stress that contributes to headaches remains. This is why patients may feel better temporarily but continue to experience chronic headaches over time.
How Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) Restores the Neck Curve and Relieves Headaches
At Green Chiropractic, we go beyond traditional adjustments. Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) uses a combination of precise spinal adjustments, targeted traction, and posture remodeling techniques to gradually restore the natural cervical curve and correct forward head posture. By retraining muscles, ligaments, and discs to adapt to a healthier alignment, CBP reduces abnormal stress on the neck, improves nerve function, and stabilizes the spine. This addresses the root cause of chronic headaches and migraines, providing long-term relief rather than just temporary symptom relief.
