Why You Feel Better After the Procedure

Ttukseom Sio Clinic::Botox for Rounded Back and Turtle Neck

Hello. This is Ttukseom Sio Clinic.

When you spend a long time looking at a monitor or smartphone,

your head naturally slumps forward

and your shoulders roll inward.

​

If this condition persists for a long time,

your back becomes rounded and your neck protrudes forward,

making it easy to develop a turtle neck posture.

At this point, the muscles around the neck, shoulders, and back

are always in a state of excessive tension.

​

When pain persists, many people

try physical therapy or massage,

​

but in cases that go beyond simple over-tension,

you can consider a procedure that reduces tension by injecting Botox directly into the trapezius and upper back muscles.

​

Today, we will explain in detail

the changes and comfort you can actually feel in your daily life

after the rounded back and turtle neck Botox procedure performed at Ttukseom Sio Clinic.

① Change in sleeping posture from fetal position to sleeping on your back

If the muscles in your neck and shoulders are stiff,

lying flat on your back can put significant strain on the back of your neck and shoulders.

​

This is why you may unconsciously curl up

into a fetal position.

​

However, the fetal position, in the long run,

worsens the rounding of the back and disrupts the natural curve of the neck,

leading to a worsening of symptoms.

The Botox procedure helps to relieve the excessive

muscle tension that has accumulated in the rounded back and

neck area, allowing your shoulders and neck to rest comfortably on the floor.

​

As a result, you can experience a more comfortable

experience sleeping on your back at night.

② Relief from the stiffness in the neck and shoulders felt every morning

​

If your neck won't turn when you wake up in the morning,

or if your shoulders feel heavy like a stone,

it means your muscles couldn't rest overnight.

​

Overly developed and tense muscles

cannot relax on their own even during sleep,

leading to continuous fatigue.

​

The trapezius and neck Botox performed at Sio Clinic

works to appropriately reduce the tension in the strained muscles.

​

It can be very helpful in reducing the characteristic stiffness

and crushing heaviness felt upon waking up.

③ A comfortable sitting posture without forced effort

It's difficult to maintain a good posture

when sitting at a desk for work or study.

​

Even if you try to force your back straight and broaden your shoulders,

your back rounds again after just a few minutes.

​

This is because when you try to maintain a good posture,

the muscles around your neck and shoulders easily become fatigued

and tense up as if spasming.

​

By relieving excessive tension in the upper back muscles through the procedure,

it becomes much easier and more comfortable to maintain a good spinal curve

without having to force yourself into the posture.

④ Reduction in chronic neck, shoulder, and tension headaches

Have you ever experienced a dull headache,

a stiff neck, and pain extending to your temples?

A significant portion of these headaches are caused by severe tension in the neck and shoulder muscles,

rather than a problem with the brain itself.

​

When the muscles around the cervical spine become stiff,

they can compress the blood vessels and nerves leading to the scalp,

causing tension headaches or migraines.

​

The Botox procedure applied to the neck and shoulders

relaxes the overly stiff muscles,

making it effective in reducing headaches that frequently occur due to muscle tension.

​

​

The injection site and dosage for pain caused by rounded back and turtle neck

must be precisely adjusted depending on which muscles are overused

and the degree of postural imbalance.

​

At our Sio Clinic, we don't just inject the visibly tense areas.

​

We provide personalized treatment by comprehensively evaluating

each patient's muscle thickness, pain points, and postural habits.

​

​

Rounded back and turtle neck are more than just aesthetic concerns;

they can lead to sleep disturbances, decreased concentration, chronic fatigue,

and a decline in overall quality of life.

​

Botox, a non-surgical treatment, allows for a quick return to daily life

after the injection and reduces excessive tension in the trapezius and posterior muscles,

aiding in natural postural correction exercises.

​

However, postural problems cannot be completely resolved

with the procedure alone, so it is recommended to combine it

with good postural habits while the muscles are relaxed.

​

​

Sio Clinic listens to each patient's concerns

and uses only the appropriate dosage for the necessary areas,

ensuring a safe and comfortable treatment experience.

​

If you've been struggling to achieve good posture on your own,

we recommend visiting Sio Clinic to have your current muscle condition

thoroughly checked.
