Inour eraof constantlybeingonsmartphones, tablets, andcomputers, we often put our necks and backs in positions of prolonged stress. Over time, theweight added toour necksbasedon thedegree atwhich we hold our heads contributes to increased strain to our vertebrae, disc, and muscles supporting the spine. Text Neck or Tech Neck is the term used to describe the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at your cell phone, tablet, or other wireless devices too frequently and for too long. Of course, this posture of bending your neck to look down does not occur onlywhen texting. For years, we’ve all looked down to read. The problemwith texting is that it adds onemore activity that causes us to look down—and people tend to do it for much longer periods. It is especially concerningbecause young, growingchildrencouldpossibly cause permanent damage to their cervical spines that could lead to lifelong neck pain. We often see patients who have suffered from back and neck pain for years who could have been treated very easily when the pain started with simple postural corrections and stretches. If you have been suffering fromback or neck pain, come see one of our physical therapists for an assessment of what is contributing to your pain.
