The Story Behind Dr. Ben Shamoiel’s Mission: Healing Beyond Medication
Every chiropractor has a reason behind their passion — for Dr. Ben Shamoiel, that reason began with personal loss.
Beyond Tech Neck: How Digital Strain is Changing Your Spine
We spend an average of 7+ hours a day looking at screens. While we worry about eye strain, the real impact is happening at the base of your skull. At The L.A. Chiropractor, we’re seeing a rise in "Digital Strain"—a condition that goes beyond just a stiff neck.
The 60-Pound Problem
Did you know that for every inch your head tilts forward, it adds 10 pounds of pressure to your spine? A 45-degree tilt (the typical "texting" pose) makes your head feel like it weighs 60 pounds!
The "Straightened" Spine
Over time, this pressure flattens the Banana Curve in your neck. When that curve disappears, it stretches the spinal cord and can lead to:
-
Tension Headaches: Pain that feels like a tight band around your head.
-
Numbness: Tingling that travels down into your shoulders or hands.
-
Fatigue: Your brain has to work harder to maintain balance, leaving you drained by 3 PM.
Reversing the Damage
The good news? Your spine is adaptable. Through precise adjustments at our Marina del Rey and Century City offices, we help restore that vital curvature and take the "60-pound weight" off your shoulders.
