Train: Q
Would your friends say you
are addicted to your phone? Are
you constantly texting, checking
your emails, or updating your social
media status? Well, if any of
the above applies, you may be
suffering for the newly diagnosed
“Tech Neck”. This term describes
injuries and pain resulting from
too much time spent looking
down at wireless devices. In turn
this can lead to headaches, upper
back and neck pain, shoulder
pain or even arm pain.
You may not realize this fact
but every time you look down to
text or check your phone (most
commonly at 60 degree angle),
this is essentially the equivalent
of adding 60 lbs. or over four
bowling bowls worth of stress
to the back of your neck. Statistics
currently state that the average
adult spends approximately
3.6 hours daily (that’s 1300
hours per year) on their mobile
devices. That number grows to
over 5000 hours yearly if you’re
a high school student.
Present studies state that
80% of the US population will
experience posture related pain
in their life. This may lead to fl attening
of the upper spine, joint
damage, ligament laxity, and
even potentially cause your lungs
to take in up to 30% less oxygen
as a result of compression from
the poor posture.
If you are experiencing any
of the above symptoms or have
other musculoskeletal pains or
concerns please contact our offi
ce for a consultation to discuss
all of our safe, effective pain management
options.
