Text Neck Treatment

Are you suffering from Text-Neck?

Advances in technology have changed our everyday lives! Today, people are spending more time on their cell phones, social media, computers, and playing games. This has created an epidemic of poor posture, known as Text-Neck, or forward head posture. According to Kenneth Hansraj, Chief of Spine Surgery at the NY Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine, left untreated it can create early wear and tear on your spine. Also, it can cause early spinal degeneration, and in some cases even the need for surgery.

Most people don't realize the skull is the heaviest part of the human body. The average weight of the human head can go from 8 to 12 pounds. Because of this, the head and neck begin to lean forward and bend down. What is 12 pounds of weight will quickly become 25 pounds. If there is a 30 degree shift in the head it translates to over 40 pounds, and at 45 degrees its 49 pounds.

To put this into perspective, have you ever picked up a 5 gallon jug of water?

That's 45 pounds, now imagine the stress that is placing on your neck, upper back, mid back, and even your lower back.

When the head and neck stay in that forward position, over time the tissues can get really inflamed. Causing muscle strain, pinched nerves, bulging discs and even herniated discs. Poor posture causes other health problems as well, such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, migraines. Furthermore, numbness and tingling into the arms and hands, legs and feet, reduced lung capacity, depression, and even heart disease can symptoms of Text-Neck.
