Tech neck is a Modern age term coined to describe repeated stress injury and pain in the neck resulting from excessive watching or texting on hand-held devices over a sustained period of time. Frequent flexion of the neck over long periods of time can impact the cervical spine and lead to painful and multiple neck and back conditions, if not addressed properly.

TECH NECK SYNDROME (Text neck)

The human head weighs about 11 pounds. However, when it is angled forwards & downwards, the effective weight applied to your spine increases. This puts an enormous amount of stress on the neck, shortening and tightening the muscles and compressing the nerves to cause neurological dysfunction, intense pain and spasms.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP RESTORE PROPER POSTURE AND ALLEVIATE THE SYMPTOMS.

For every 1 cm that your head is held forward, it gains 2 kg of weight.

Symptoms include:

• FORWARD HEAD POSTURE
• RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
• MUSCLE IMBALANCES
• NECK, BACK, & SHOULDER PAIN
• REDUCED MOBILITY
• CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY
