In today’s world, there is no question that many people use their cell phones on a regular basis to text messages, handle emails, and even watch videos. Unfortunately, one problem that comes along with this use of cell phones is that it places stress on the back and neck. This stress is known as “text neck” syndrome and it can cause a variety of health problems, including pain in the neck and shoulders, headaches, and tingling in the arms and hands.
The main reason that the cell phone places stress on the neck and spine is because it causes you to look down at the screen of your phone when using it. The average person spends 2-4 hours per day looking at their phone in this down and forward position. This causes a large amount of stress on the muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae in the neck.
Over time, this can cause the muscles in your neck to get weak and can lead to spinal misalignments. When the neck and spine are misaligned, it can cause nerves to get pinched and can cause a loss of communication between your brain and the muscles, organs, and other parts of your body..Looking More カイロプラクティック 横浜 関内 スマホ首
The best way to prevent this type of injury is to make an effort to use your cell phone more responsibly by limiting games and making sure that you are using it at eye level. You should also take frequent breaks from the phone and try to stretch often. Seeing a chiropractor is also recommended to help adjust the vertebrae in your neck (cervical spine) and to restore proper function.
