Belmont & Medowie Chiropractor Dr. Adam Wild Offers Effective Solutions for Tech Neck

In today’s digital age, many people are suffering from a condition commonly referred to as tech neck. This ailment, characterized by neck pain and discomfort, arises from prolonged periods spent hunched over mobile devices. Known by various names—including smart phone spine, text neck, and anterior head syndrome—tech neck is an increasingly prevalent issue affecting both adults and children, whose developing bodies are particularly vulnerable.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Tech Neck

When you tilt your head forward to look at your device, the weight of your head can exert a force equivalent to nearly 60 pounds on your neck. This strain can lead to misalignments in your spine, pinched nerves, and strained muscles.

If you find yourself using a mobile device for more than 90 minutes a day, you may be at risk for the following symptoms:

Neck Pain

Persistent discomfort that can extend into your shoulders.

Upper Back Pain

Tension and tightness in the upper back muscles.

Shoulder Pain

Discomfort that may radiate down the arms.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Pain, tingling, or numbness in the wrists and hands.

Increased Headaches and Migraines

Frequent headaches due to muscle strain and tension.

Elevate Your Device

Raise your mobile device to eye level to avoid bending your head down.

Support Your Arms

Rest your elbows on a table or use a pillow to support your arms while using devices.

Limit Text Length

Avoid lengthy messages and emails on your mobile device—keep it concise!

Take Regular Breaks

Stretch, walk around, or do specific therapeutic exercises recommended by our chiropractors.
