Obviously it’s too early to draw any conclusions, but it seems that my theory about the military neck being possibly caused by loss of upper/mid thoracic spine mobility might be correct at least in some cases.
A month ago I had an upright MRI which showed desiccated and slightly narrowed T discs. I had long suspected that even before because of the stiffness in the upper back. After the MRI, I started focusing on upper/mid back mobility, as before that I was trying to restore the C lordosis by more focusing on neck’s mobility.
So the results are…
The last pre-thoracic-spine-physio Xray was from 2022 May, the latest was just a few days ago.
2022 early May
2022 late July
It’s worth mentioning that the spine, neck, shoulders hurt like hell. And as I mentioned earlier, it’s too early to celebrate. Now I need to strengthen all the back muscles.
Upd: this one is from 2020 June, when things weren’t that that bad yet.
