The \"Vulture Neck\": How Office Posture Stresses the Jaw<\/h2>\n

When we stare at a screen for hours, we often unconsciously fall into static, Asymmetrical postures<\/a>. The head moves forward towards the monitor. Since a human head is quite heavy, your neck muscles have to work very hard to keep it upright in this incorrect posture.<\/p>\n

What many don\u2019t know: Our jaw muscle is the strongest muscle in the human body and can develop enormous forces of over 80 kilograms. When the neck is overloaded, the brain reflexively contracts the jaw muscles to additionally stabilize the head. They begin unconsciously to clench or press their teeth together.<\/p>\n

The consequence: The musculature hardens, and the pain radiates to the head, causing jaw clicking or even ear noises like tinnitus.<\/p>\n

Bruxism: When stress is released in the jaw<\/h2>\n

In addition to the office posture, there is another, often underestimated cause: bruxism, the unconscious grinding or pressing of teeth. There are basically two forms: the nightly grinding during sleep, which is often only noticed by the partner or partners, and the silent, day-time pressing of the teeth \u2013 often unconscious during concentration, stress, or time pressure at the desk.<\/p>\n

Typical signs of bruxism are flattened or sensitive teeth, a muscle cramp feeling in the jaw in the morning, headaches in the temples, and a visibly tight jaw musculature. Stress is one of the most important triggers \u2013 physical and mental tension often drains away precisely where the strongest muscles of our body are located.<\/p>\n
