Throughout history, neck injuries have plagued humanity. From gladiatorial combat to battlefield clashes, the neck's vulnerability has been a constant concern.

Modern medicine offers a wider range of treatments, from advanced imaging techniques for diagnosis to minimally invasive surgeries for spinal correction.However, a new dilemma has emerged.

The delicate balance of the cervical spine suffers under this strain. Herein lies the modern dilemma: while medical advancements offer effective treatments for acute injuries, preventing these issues in the first place becomes increasingly crucial.
