• Pain

  In some cases, joint degeneration may be a direct source of pain, but the actual cause of pain is often secondary to muscle imbalance. Therefore, clinicians should find and treat the cause of the pain rather than focus on the source of the pain. [jandaapproach.com]

  This causes pain throughout the upper body, including shoulder pain and neck pain, as well as a reduced range of motion. [airrosti.com]

  Beyond obvious traumatic onset, very few clinicians understand the mechanism for acute shoulder injury and chronic pain. [dynamicchiropractic.com]

  Studies show that 8 out of 10 people will experience lower back pain in their lifetime. In fact, that is a common reason why people see a chiropractor, followed shortly with neck pain and headaches/migraines. [fletcherchiropracticllc.com]

• Weakness

  Weakness of the deep cervical flexors ventrally crosses with weakness of the middle and lower trapezius. [jandacrossedsyndromes.com]

  According to Vladimir Janda (1988), in case of muscular imbalances the tight muscles must be stretched at first followed by strengthening of the weak muscles. [omicsonline.org]

  By using Janda’s classification, clinicians can begin to predict patterns of tightness and weakness in the sensorimotor system’s attempt to reach homeostasis. [jandaapproach.com]
