Common Text Neck Questions

With most people now spending several hours on computers, tablets, and smartphones every day, it's no surprise that health professionals are hearing more complaints about text neck. At Vaughn Chiropractic, our chiropractor in Waterford, MI, gets a lot of questions about this condition.

1. What is Text Neck?

Text neck is not a specific disease, but rather a syndrome of issues that are caused by spending too much time hunched over a digital device. Research shows that poor posture (head forward, shoulders rounded, and back slouched) increases strain on the neck. Over time, this may increase the risk of degenerative damage in the discs, ligaments, nerves, muscles, and other spinal tissues.

2. Who Gets Text Neck?

Many people get text neck, including men, women, and children. Anyone who repeatedly spends too much time in the classic text neck posture is at risk.

3. What Are Text Neck Signs and Symptoms?

Text neck symptoms are temporary but can get worse over time.

  • Headaches and brain fog
  • Eye fatigue
  • Jaw pain and dysfunction
  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Numbness and tingling in the arms and hands

4. How Can I Prevent Text Neck?

To prevent text neck, be more aware of your posture while using digital devices, and implement strategies to improve it, such as:

  • Keep your digital device at eye level
  • Use good contrast and font size on your screen
  • Take breaks

5. What Can a Chiropractor do for Text Neck?

Our chiropractor in Waterford, MI, can alleviate and prevent text neck. Natural techniques like spinal adjustments will reduce your tension and improve cervical alignment, and postural re-training will help you avoid recurring damage. We also prescribe exercises to boost your spinal muscle function and use non-invasive modalities to promote tissue healing and pain relief.
