How Poor Posture May Lead to Chronic Face Pain
Poor posture, especially during activities like working at a desk or using a phone, can lead to face pain over time. Slouching or craning the neck places extra strain on the muscles of the head, neck, and face, resulting in tension and discomfort. This posture can also contribute to TMJ disorders, as misalignment of the neck and jaw exacerbates face pain. Improving posture through ergonomic adjustments, regular breaks, and stretching exercises can reduce chronic face pain. Strengthening the neck and back muscles can also alleviate tension and prevent future issues.
