Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) Treatment at Conrad Spine and Sport
Understanding Upper Cross Syndrome
Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is a common postural imbalance that affects many individuals, particularly those who spend long hours sitting at a desk, drive long distances in vehicles, or hunched over electronic devices. UCS is characterized by tightness in the upper trapezius and levator scapulae muscles, along with weakness in the deep neck flexors and lower trapezius muscles. This imbalance often leads to neck pain, shoulder pain, overly tight muscles, and headaches.
