Text Neck Syndrome is a term used to describe neck pain and stiffness that is caused by looking down at cell phones, tablets, or other wireless devices for extended periods of time. This condition is becoming increasingly more common amongst patients of all ages and from all walks of life as we become more technologically with each passing day.

Text Neck Syndrome is characterized by a variety of symptoms which include but are not limited to: neck pain, neck and mid back muscle spasm, tightness in the shoulders, decreased spinal movement in the neck and mid spine region, and tension type headaches. If untreated it may even progress to the extent of becoming a pinched nerve.

Chiropractic treatment can help alleviate the symptoms related to Text Neck Syndrome by helping to decrease the muscle spasm and restoring movement to the joints of the spine.

What can you do to prevent this type of pain?

• Ensure that your phone, laptop, tablets or other devices are positioned at eye level when using them.
• Avoid using these devices for prolonged periods of time without taking regular breaks.
• Maintain good posture at all times.
• We also treat this condition.
