A Straight Look at Military Neck
Straight posture is healthful, but if it feels like your neck is stuck at attention like a strict toy soldier, it could be an indicator of a condition known as military neck. Also known as cervical kyphosis, this neck problem is not actually related to service in the military at all.

Active on Activator and its efficacy with Dr. Laura Huber – Podcast
Dr. Laura Huber, Life U Chiropractic Sciences Professor, went from being a non-believer to something of a trumpeter for the virtues of the Activator tool for chiropractic adjustments.

Therefore, some chiropractors are weary of using tools such as an Activator to deliver an adjustment. However, Dr. Huber explains that its gentle nature and consistency in terms of type of force delivered can benefit patients immensely.
