Chiropractic Partners Offers Help For Painful “Text Neck"

Technology has offered many benefits for communication and organization, but it has also led to several physical disorders. “Text neck” is a condition the causes painful spasms and stiffness in the neck, from bending over cellphone screens. Chiropractic care offers relief from uncomfortable neck pain, so you can engage in tasks more effectively.

At Chiropractic Partners, we offer help for text neck problems at all our North Carolina locations.

Understanding the Problem of “Text Neck"

The human neck is a complex structure that must hold the weight of the head properly and provide flexibility for normal movement. In the normal position, the head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds. When the neck is bent over a cellphone screen, the weight put on neck structures increases to 27 pounds or more. This additional stress can lead to tears or herniation in the discs of the neck, compressed nerves, and muscle strain. Over time, an individual may experience pain in the neck, upper back or shoulders, reduced mobility, and headaches.

Chiropractic Care Offers Effective Treatment For Neck Pain Problems

Chiropractors use a variety of methods to get the spine back into normal alignment and reduce discomfort. Manual adjustment reduces pressure on discs. Your chiropractor may also use heat, cold, massage and other methods to reduce pain and restore normal function. Your care plan may also include corrective exercise to bring back normal strength to muscles of the neck and upper back.
