I think I'll wait until...someone else looks into the issue.
QuoteDavid Shahar and Mark Sayers began looking at the issue when Shahar – a practising chiropractor who calls himself "Dr. Posture"
I mean do people really hold their phones up to their heads very often? These horns should be growing out of their hands.

As people tilt their heads forward to look at their screens, the researchers hypothesize, they increase the weight load on the muscles located at the back of the head, causing bone to grow to help the body cope. Better posture could help people avert this sensation, they said.

I don't think that is how bones work. If it was we could manipulate our bodies to grow all sorts of weird bones, and you know people would be all over that shit.
But what do I know? I am not a qualified medical professional unlike these chiropractors.
Damn, that's bad, probably to do with vaccines. What does the local witches cabal have to say?

I better burn some herbs at my altar during the next full moon.

Maybe you should sacrifice a virgin. Wait, do you even have any of those in Texas?

it kind of sort of does, but only under much higher force then looking down. Attachment points for tendons can get bigger from repeated strenuous use (like English longbowman have some easily recognizable skeletons)
Future generations, to which i will leave no genetic contribution, will marvel at my massive right forearm's tendon attachment points.

QuoteThe remodeling of bone in response to loading is achieved via mechanotransduction, a process through which forces or other mechanical signals are converted to biochemical signals in cellular signaling.[7] Mechanotransduction leading to bone remodeling involve the steps of mechanocoupling, biochemical coupling, signal transmission, and cell response.[8] The specific effects on bone structure depends on the duration, magnitude and rate of loading, and it has been found that only cyclic loading can induce bone formation.[8] When loaded, fluid flows away from areas of high compressive loading in the bone matrix.[9] Osteocytes are the most abundant cells in bone and are also the most sensitive to such fluid flow caused by mechanical loading.[7] Upon sensing a load, osteocytes regulate bone remodeling by signaling to other cells with signaling molecules or direct contact.[10] Additionally, osteoprogenitor cells, which may differentiate into osteoblasts or osteoclasts, are also mechanosensors and may differentiate one way or another depending on the loading condition.[10]
Computational models suggest that mechanical feedback loops can stably regulate bone remodeling by reorienting trabeculae in the direction of the mechanical loads.

Ok I am talking about growing weird bones and things like that not subtle attachment points for tendons. I know you can tell tons of stuff from examining a skeleton.
I was agreeing with you in spirit hah

Did you have: Tommy John surgery?
It's because they're all a bunch of kind and generous persons.
