In this episode, Posture Ellie answers two more listener questions, giving her thoughts on chiropractors and dealing with lockjaw. With the lockjaw, as with any symptom of pain, it's important to look at the body as a whole system, and not hone in on the area that hurts. Whilst lockjaw can and does have postural causes (a bit like discussed last week, if the head isn't sitting properly on top of the shoulders, it can cause issues around 'the head'. However, the issue of the head not sitting properly can be caused by the structures below it being misaligned. So, as with any symptom, we need to take a whole body posture approach to fix it), this listener thinks that stress is the cause. And, if stress is the cause, then the stress must be addressed.
