※ This video is an excerpt from Medical Experts - Warning of Forward Head Posture! Neck Stroke Causing Quadriplegia , which aired on October 3, 2025. How long will you continue to neglect forward head posture? A woman in her 50s struggled to fall asleep every night due to pain in her trapezius muscles and the inside of her shoulder blades. Due to her habit of working in front of a computer all day at the office and spending time glued to her smartphone upon returning home, she was eventually diagnosed with "Forward Head Posture Syndrome." Forward Head Posture Syndrome refers to a condition where the natural C-curve of the neck disappears due to prolonged incorrect posture, such as while using smartphones or computers. While forward head posture may be taken lightly, it places continuous tension on muscles and nerves, leading to cervical disc herniation that compresses peripheral nerves, and can further progress to cervical myelopathy that compresses the spinal cord. Forward Head Posture Syndrome is so common that it affects 7 out of 10 adults! It is said that posture correction and exercise can prevent progression to cervical disc herniation or cervical myelopathy... Let's pay attention to the methods for escaping forward head posture taught by medical experts! ** Is There a "Stroke in the Neck"? Cervical Myelopathy Causing Quadriplegia A man in his 40s, who had long enjoyed amateur baseball believing himself to be healthier than anyone else, recently began experiencing pain throughout his body that felt like an electric shock. He subsequently developed paralysis symptoms, such as weakness in his legs that made him feel like he might collapse, much like a stroke patient. Having neglected a "turtle neck" diagnosis made 10 years ago, he developed a "straight neck" and eventually progressed to cervical myelopathy. Cervical myelopathy is a condition in which abnormalities in the neck vertebrae, discs, and ligaments compress the spinal cord—the central nervous system—causing numbness in the hands and feet or gait disorders. If symptoms worsen, it can lead to quadriplegia or incontinence, making it dangerous enough to be referred to as a "stroke." In particular, since damaged spinal nerves cannot be restored, surgery is required in 60 to 70% of cases. So, when is the appropriate time for surgery for cervical myelopathy? We explore the timing and methods of surgery, which vary depending on the location and extent of nerve damage, with an authority on cervical myelopathy surgery. ✔ Program Title: Master Doctors - Warning of Forward Head Posture!
