Technology has been continuing to evolve which has brought many different benefits to all of our lives. However, with many individuals having the need to stay connected to others with the use of email and messaging there is a concern on what is happening to the posture of many individuals. This is now creating what practitioners are calling “tech neck” This is the result from an unnatural posture which strains the muscles of the neck and upper back. This has resulted in neck, arm, shoulder pain with tightness and soreness in the areas as well. Noticing your incorrect posture position is the first way to help correct it. Making sure that you are creating a positive posture and taking breaks when needed so that your body has a way to relax is one way to help prevent this condition.
Chiropractic care is one way to help with the condition once you have started to result in the neck and upper back pain. Muscle work and regular chiropractic adjustments can help to allow the body to go back to it’s normal position which then will decrease the pain. If you have noticed some of the slight symptoms of tech neck, please make sure to call and set up your next appointment before it becomes too severe!
