“I called the [Franklin Rehabilitation] billing department for the first time ever to ask some questions about my bill. I spoke with Sue and she was very nice. She not only resolved my issue quickly; she volunteered information about things I hadn’t even thought to ask about. Overall, it was a very good experience.” - Delores B.

Your monitor screen should be at eye level so your head isn’t perpetually dropping and causing muscle strain.
A load of hurt How can using a smartphone or other mobile device cause so much hurt? It’s all in how you look at it. Literally. Looking down, dropping your head forward, changes the natural curvature of your neck. Over time, that misalignment can strain muscles and cause wear and tear on the structures of the neck.
