Modern technology has created a new phenomenon called Text Neck”. Unfortunately, there are some severe health risks associated with this condition because it affects the alignment and placement of the neck. Here's a closer look at this medical condition that causes neck pain and bad posture.

WHAT IS TEXT NECK?

Text neck is a condition in which prolonged use of technology can cause neck pain and discomfort. However, it can also lead to actual injury in some cases beyond just soreness. As the name suggests, text neck is the result of how people hold their heads and necks when using technology, specifically their smartphones. Soreness, stiffness, and even injury are common with a neck that is bent over constantly.

TEXT NECK SYMPTOMS

Text neck may manifest as headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, pain in the upper back, and a slight curving of the spine. Considering that these symptoms can be triggered by using a device, they are pretty concerning. Individual symptoms may vary, but they are more likely to occur if you spend more time on your phone or device.

RELIEF FROM TEXT NECK

There are many ways to deal with Text Neck. An excellent place to start is by limiting your technology usage. However, in today's world, this is unlikely to happen. Stretches can also help alleviate neck pain and tension throughout the day. While using your device, take a few minutes to stretch. Getting chiropractic care is another excellent option. The curvature and misalignments caused by text neck can be treated with chiropractic care. Technological device usage is unlikely to cease anytime soon, so regular chiropractic care keeps the spine aligned and eliminates this type of pain.


Ensure your spine and body remain healthy by letting a chiropractor align your spine, improve your bad posture, and reduce your text neck. Contact us today to find out why Wills Chiropractic is the Rochelle chiropractic clinic to rely on if you suffer from text neck.
