22 Kilos of Pressure?! Why Forward Head Posture Wreaks Havoc on Your Neck

Written By Paula STACEY-THOMAS

Let’s talk numbers.

Your head weighs roughly 5 kilograms. But tilt it forward 30 degrees (like when you’re scrolling), and your neck is now carrying over 22 kilograms of force.

It’s no wonder people are showing up with:

  • Daily neck pain

  • “Stuck” joints or cracking sounds

  • Headaches by lunchtime-Flattened or straightened neck curves

The longer this posture continues, the more it wears down your spine’s discs and joints—sometimes years before you feel true “pain.”

This is called degenerative joint disease, and while it sounds scary, it’s often preventable.

At The Chiropractic Domain, we don’t just treat symptoms. We scan, assess, and help you’re build your posture from the inside out—naturally and precisely.

Don’t wait until it’s chronic. If your neck feels off, your body is already asking for help.
