This anatomical illustration outlines how Forward Head Posture and a C6–C7 Disc Herniation trigger complex neurological symptoms.
Poor posture strains the trapezius and deep suboccipital muscles, causing tension headaches. Simultaneously, compression at the C6–C7 level results in chronic neck pain and disrupts local nerve pathways.
This cervical irritation causes Cervical Proprioceptive Dysfunction, sending mismatched spatial signals to the brain. This disrupts the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR), leading to Eye-Head Coordination Dysfunction, balance disturbances, and cervicogenic dizziness.
