How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help Text Neck?
We spend a lot of time looking at our phones, tablets, and computers. Unfortunately, this has led to a common problem known as text neck. If you are dealing with soreness or stiffness in your neck and upper shoulders, text neck could be to blame. Visiting Ballinger Chiropractic's Shoreline chiropractor can help you learn more about this problem and get effective treatment.
What Is Text Neck?
Text neck is not a diagnosed medical condition, but rather a term used to describe is a type of overuse syndrome that occurs when people spend a lot of time looking down at their phones or other electronic devices. Looking down causes the neck to bend and the head to move forward, resulting in bad posture that can lead to symptoms such as:
- Pain in the neck, back, and shoulders
- Frequent headaches
- Hunchback
- Balance issues
- Pinched nerves
- Muscle spasms
- Reduced mobility
These symptoms can range in severity depending on the person and how much time they spend looking down at their devices throughout the day. If these symptoms are left untreated, they can lead to permanent damage to the spine.
