What Text Neck Entails

"Text neck" is a newish term used to describe the pain felt in the neck if you use a cell phone for an extended amount of time. When you look down at a phone, the back of your neck will stretch. Looking at a phone for several minutes can put a strain on your neck as your head weighs substantially more than the neck that supports it. This condition is often felt in the form of pain that radiates from the base of the neck upward toward the bottom of your head.

How To Avoid Text Neck

The best way to avoid the condition of text neck is by reducing the amount of time you spend looking at electronic devices. Consider using a timer to alert you as to when you should look away from your device so your neck does not suffer from any pain from your actions. Alternately, use a holder for your device to prop it up at eye view so you do not slump over to read information on the monitor.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

Our chiropractor uses treatment options that promote overall wellness of the body. This usually includes spinal adjustments. These are known to reduce the amount of stress in the joint areas of the body, helping to promote healing of affected areas. In addition, warm temperature therapy and massage can reduce pain from text neck.
