Text neck is a commonly used term that refers to neck strain, pain, and discomfort experienced from spending too much time looking down at electronic devices. You may be one of many people who spend hours hunched over your device daily, whether texting, scrolling through social media, or playing a game. At Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Centre in Boston, we receive many questions about text neck that we would like to answer.

What Are the Common Symptoms of Text Neck?

Our clients in Newton, Needham, Wellesley, Natick, Brookline, Watertown, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Waltham, Weston, Wayland, and Boston, MA, often ask about the common symptoms of text neck.

What Causes Text Neck?

As mentioned above, text neck is usually caused by spending too much time looking down at electronic devices, which puts pressure on the neck and upper back muscles and can cause pain over time. However, by scheduling a consultation with our chiropractor in Newton, MA, we can help you determine the exact cause of your text neck symptoms.

How Can I Avoid or Manage Text Neck?

You can easily avoid text neck pain by following healthy ergonomic habits. For instance, keep your devices at eye level and try to use them for short periods instead of prolonged sessions. Additionally, regular chiropractic care can help manage any discomfort you may already be experiencing from text neck. Neck pain treatment is one approach to managing this condition, and our chiropractors are ready to provide comprehensive neck pain treatment services.
