🩻 From Soreness to Spinal Health: The Comprehensive Guide to Avoiding 'Tech Neck

The phenomenon known as "tech neck" is increasingly common in our digital age, where long hours are spent gazing down at screens. NewYork-Presbyterian highlights this issue, characterized by discomfort and stiffness in the neck area, as a consequence of excessive screen time. Stacie J. Stephenson, a chiropractic expert, and Steven Knauf, a vice president at The Joint Chiropractic, provide insights into the adverse effects of this condition, including various symptoms and potential long-term health impacts.

"Tech neck" arises from the unnatural posture of looking down at handheld devices or extending the head forward while working on a computer screen. Symptoms range from headaches and neck pain to more severe issues like changes in spinal curvature. A study linking extensive phone use to increased neck pain emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy sitting posture and limiting screen time.

Experts recommend several strategies to mitigate the risks associated with "tech neck." Adjusting the position of devices to avoid looking down, practicing specific stretches, and incorporating movement throughout the day can significantly alleviate symptoms and prevent long-term damage. These proactive steps are essential in addressing the discomfort and ensuring spinal health in our increasingly digital lifestyle.
