The constant use of technology is the cause of a condition known as tech neck. Tech neck is pain that is caused by repetitive strain and stress to the cervical spine. At West Omaha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic in Omaha, NE, we provide information and treatment for tech neck syndrome. Here are a few common questions patients often have about tech neck and how we can help.

What Are the Symptoms of Tech Neck?

The symptoms of tech neck are generally mild, but they can increase if they are not addressed. The most common symptoms include:

• Neck pain and discomfort in the shoulders and upper back.
• A localized pain in the shoulders and neck
• Headaches
• Limited mobility and stiffness in the neck

How Do I Know if I Have Tech Neck?

There is a good chance you will suffer from tech neck if you spend several hours a day looking down at electronic devices. It's essential to look at your electronic devices at eye level and practice using good posture.

How Can I Alleviate Tech Neck?

It's recommended to take frequent breaks from electronics to alleviate tech neck. Every twenty minutes, you should stand and stretch your neck and shoulders. Practice rolling your head from one side to the other to limit pressure on the neck.

Can a Chiropractor Help?

Our chiropractor will create a treatment plan personalized for your unique needs. We will work with you over several sessions to ensure optimal results.
