Are You Losing Your Mind Trying To Get Ahead?

By Erb Family Wellness

We live in a culture where literally everyone has a screen - even many toddlers carry around an iPad. School-age kids have smartphones and do their work on Chromebooks. These devices are meant to make our lives easier, but they may be killing our brains.

Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a condition sweeping the nation as people are spending more time looking down at a screen. This stretches the upper spine forward creating tension on the central nervous system and can even pinch off the nerve supply to organs such as the thyroid and brain. FHP can cause:

Headaches
Neck pain
Arthritis
Muscular strain
Muscular spasms
Pinched nerves
Damaged discs
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
TMJ
Fibromyalgia
Fatigue
Numbness in hands
Low back pain
Loss of control of legs
Increased intracranial pressure
Declining brain health

It’s important to be mindful of your posture as you work, text and scroll. Tucking your elbows into your ribs and bringing your phone up to your face to text relieves 40 pounds of pressure from your neck. You can also raise your monitor or laptops to eye level to reduce strain from your spine.

So, chin up! You don’t have to go crazy getting rid of your devices to beat FHP. There are things you can do to keep your head on your shoulders.

City Breaks Ground On Fire Station #5

The City of Coppell is excited to announce construction of Coppell Fire Station #5, located at 157 S. Moore Road, is under way! The ceremonial groundbreaking took place June 4.

Fire Station #2 which stood at the site for many years was demolished in late May to pave the way for the new station.

Fire Station #5 will allow the Coppell Fire Department to continue to safeguard the lives and property of residents while maintaining the highest level of protection and emergency responsiveness. It is slated to be operational by next summer.
