What is Text Neck & Why is it DANGEROUS ?
Text neck can cause spinal misalignments, muscle strain, and nerve compression, that the Chiropractors at The Health Centers treat. The dangers of text neck itself include chronic pain, headaches, and potentially permanent changes like herniated discs or abnormal spinal curvature (kyphosis)
Symptoms
- Neck pain: Pain, stiffness, or soreness in the neck, upper back, or shoulders
- Headaches: Tension or occipital headaches
- Shoulder pain: Pain, tightness, or spasms in the shoulders
- Numbness and tingling: Numbness, tingling, or pins-and-needles sensations in the arms, hands, or fingers
- Muscle weakness: Weakness in the neck, shoulders, or upper back muscles
- Reduced range of motion: Difficulty turning or tilting the neck
- Postural changes: Slumped shoulders, forward head posture
- Eye strain: Dry eyes, blurred vision, or eye pain
- Jaw pain: Pain or discomfort in the jaw or jaw joint
- Upper back pain: Pain or stiffness in the upper back
Long Term Effects
- Radiating pain: Pinched nerves in the neck can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that extends down into the arms and hands.
- Pinched nerves (cervical radiculopathy): Pressure on the nerves of the cervical spine can cause pain that travels down the arm and into the hand.
- Degenerative issues: Long-term strain and stress on the cervical spine can accelerate the wear and tear of discs, potentially leading to disc herniation and arthritis.
- Structural changes: In extreme cases, the sustained forward head posture can lead to a loss of the natural curve in the spine.
Chiropractic & Prevention
Chiropractors at The Health Centers help the symptoms of text neck by realigning the spine, relieving muscle tension through adjustments and soft tissue therapies, and improving posture with corrective exercises. A chiropractor will assess the condition, potentially using X-rays, and create a personalized treatment plan that includes adjustments to restore proper alignment, massage or myofascial release for tight muscles, and exercises to strengthen and stretch supporting muscles.
How our chiropractors treat text neck
- Spinal adjustments: Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to correct misalignments in the neck and spine that are caused by forward head posture. This can help alleviate nerve pressure and pain.
- Soft tissue therapy: Therapies like massage and myofascial release help break up muscle knots, improve blood flow, and reduce tension in the neck and upper back.
- Corrective exercises: A chiropractor will recommend specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles in your neck and upper back. This helps to improve your ability to support your head and prevents future misalignments.
- Posture correction: Treatment plans often include education and ergonomic advice, such as how to position devices to reduce strain and how to hold your head and neck properly.
