Tech Neck

  
What exactly is tech neck, and how does it affect your health?
  
Excessive use of technology such as Cell Phones, Computers/Laptops, and iPads may
​be leading to a new condition affecting the cervical spine, upper back, and shoulders.

‘Tech neck’ is what doctors are calling the condition characterized by tech users sitting
with their heads bent forward, shoulders slumped, staring at mobile devices.  Prolonged screen
​use can cause misalignments of the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae in your neck.

The weight of strain on the neck

  
The first thing is to be aware of the poor posture that texting can bring, and be consciously taking
​measures to avoid the amount of time we spend with our heads in the down and forward position.

A PAIN IN THE NECK!

  
Text Neck can be causing damage before most people are aware there is a problem. Usually, most people
​become aware that something is wrong when they start experiencing headaches and neck pain.

Protecting yourself from Text Neck

  
Simply lifting your smart phone to a higher position will help reduce the strain on your neck. Stand
​up and move around for at least 5-10 minutes every hour. This will help improve your posture.
