Educational only — not a diagnosis

The 8 Questions

What the Scorecard Asks (and Why)

These are the exact 8 questions in the Scorecard. The more "higher concern" answers you have, the more it's worth getting checked.

How often do you feel neck, back, or shoulder pain?

Choose the option that fits best: Rarely or never; A few times a month; Weekly; or Most days. The more frequent your pain, the higher your posture and pain risk score.

How long have you had this pain or stiffness?

Choose: No real pain; Less than 2 weeks; 2 weeks to 3 months; or More than 3 months. Pain lasting longer than three months points to a pattern worth addressing sooner rather than later.

How many hours a day are you sitting (desk, driving, phone)?

Choose: Under 3; 3 to 5; 6 to 8; or 9 or more. Sitting six or more hours a day is the leading driver of forward-head posture and the spinal strain we see most often.

When you catch your reflection, how's your posture?

Choose: Upright and aligned; A little rounded; Noticeably hunched or forward head; or I avoid looking. Rounded or forward-head posture is an early sign that correction is worthwhile.

Do you get headaches that start at the base of your skull or neck?

Choose: Never; Occasionally; A few times a week; or Almost daily. Headaches that begin at the base of the skull or neck often trace back to the cervical spine and posture.

Does the pain limit anything you want to do (sleep, workouts, work, play with kids)?

Choose: Not at all; A little; Often; or Significantly. When pain limits your daily life, it has moved past a nuisance and is worth a proper exam.

Any numbness, tingling, or pain shooting into an arm or leg?

Choose: No; Rarely; Sometimes; or Frequently. Numbness, tingling, or radiating pain can signal nerve involvement. If this happens frequently, the Scorecard routes you to seek prompt professional attention regardless of your total score.

What have you tried so far?

Choose: Nothing yet; Rest or OTC meds with no lasting relief; Stretching or massage but it comes back; It keeps getting worse; or It's fully resolved. What hasn't worked tells us whether a corrective approach is the smarter next step.
