How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help Text Neck?
You’re probably reading this from a mobile device with your head and neck hunched forward. This is known as the text neck position.
An average adult head weighs about 12 pounds when looking straight ahead. However, the weight multiplies up to five times when you hunch over, straining the muscles around the neck.
Therefore, maintaining the text neck position over long periods can impact your cervical spine and lead to nagging neck pains.
When Should You Get Neck Pain Treatment for Text Neck?
Text neck comes with several symptoms including aching pain and tenderness around the neck area.
If left untreated, it can develop into painful neck spasms and/or harsh upper back pains. Other common symptoms include a tight, painful sensation in the shoulders as well as sharp pains caused by pinched nerves.
