At Odom Chiropractic in Grovetown, GA, our chiropractor will work closely with your address any pain you may be exhibiting in your neck or spine. In an increasingly digital world, it can be tough to keep your eyes away from your phone, especially if texting is one of your main form of communications. However, keeping your body in this unnatural position for long periods of time can result in a syndrome known as text neck, and chiropractic care can provide relief for any discomfort you may be experiencing.
During Your First Visit
When your visit us, we will discuss any symptoms that you may be experiencing and help answer any questions that you may have regarding your pain. If text neck has been causing you discomfort for a short period or it is exacerbating any preexisting neck pain, we will perform an evaluation and identify the cause so we can provide you with the necessary treatment.
What is Text Neck?
Anytime you are using your phone to send a text message, your spine and neck bend in an unnatural position. As you look down, the muscles and ligaments in the back are forced to support the head in an unusual position for a prolonged period of time. This can result in neck strain, which can cause headaches and tension in the shoulders.
Text Neck Treatment
For many people, a spinal adjustment can help to alleviate the symptoms of text neck. When you visit our chiropractor, we will talk about what is causing your neck pain and develop a treatment plan that can help alleviate symptoms and prevent these from occurring in the future.
We may recommend that you use a different form of communication, such as voice to text or installing a texting app on your computer to help you send the necessary messages and avoid straining your neck. We will also set up a treatment plan that can help monitor your health and alleviate the discomfort that you are enduring. If you find that your symptoms worsen, we ask that you call us immediately so that we can alter the treatment if necessary and help your neck heal.
