Tension Headaches and Anterior Head Carriage: The Hidden Connection — and How Chiropractic BioPhysics® Fixes It for Good
Do you ever feel like your head is constantly being pulled forward, your neck tight, and your shoulders full of tension? If so, you may be suffering from anterior head carriage — a postural imbalance that’s one of the most common causes of chronic tension headaches.
At Green Chiropractic, we specialize in helping patients correct these problems through Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) — the most advanced, results-based method for restoring spinal alignment and posture. We’re proud to be Omaha’s only Chiropractic BioPhysics® clinic, helping people finally break free from years of daily tension headaches and shoulder pain without relying on medication.
What Is Anterior Head Carriage?
Hunchback Posture fix at Green Chiropractic
Anterior head carriage, also called forward head posture, happens when your head shifts forward in front of your shoulders. For every inch your head moves forward, your neck muscles must support up to 10 extra pounds of weight — creating constant strain in your neck, shoulders, and upper back.
This imbalance compresses nerves, tightens muscles, and restricts blood flow to the head — setting the stage for tension headaches, migraines, and chronic fatigue.
If you’ve noticed your head jutting forward when using your phone or computer, or you feel that constant “tight band” headache across your temples or the back of your head, anterior head carriage could be the root cause.
How Anterior Head Carriage Causes Tension Headaches
When your head and neck are misaligned, the muscles at the base of your skull — the suboccipital muscles — are forced to overwork just to keep your head upright. Over time, this creates inflammation and nerve irritation that radiates upward into your scalp and behind your eyes.
That’s why muscle relaxers, pain meds, and massages only give temporary relief — they don’t fix the structure of your spine. To end tension headaches long-term, you must correct the postural problem behind them.
