Is My Pain in My Head? Understanding Central Sensitization
If you’ve been told “nothing’s wrong” on your scans but you’re still in pain, you’re not imagining it. Your pain is real, and your nervous system may be the reason it won’t calm down. This process is called central sensitization. It happens when the brain and spinal cord become overly sensitive, amplifying pain signals even after tissues have healed.

📱 Spending Too Much Time on Your Phone? You Might Have “Text Neck.”
If you’ve ever caught yourself hunched over your phone for hours, you’re not alone—and you could be at risk for Text Neck, a posture-related condition caused by prolonged forward head posture while using handheld mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. This modern-day issue is affecting people of all ages—but especially children and teens, who often spend hours daily on their devices and carry heavy backpacks to school.
