Tech Neck and Forward Head Posture: The Hidden Link to Failed Neck Pain Relief

New evidence is in — and it confirms what many chiropractors have long suspected: forward head posture can make or break your recovery from neck pain.

A 2025 study published in Scientific Reports found that each unit increase in forward head posture (sagittal head translation) reduced the odds of conservative care success by 13% or more.

At the same time, articles from CNET and Body+Soul show a global rise in “tech neck” driven by excessive screen use — in both adults and kids.
