Top Questions about Text Neck Pain with Your Hickory, NC, Chiropractor

People of all ages experience neck pain every day. More often than not, that pain is due to a syndrome called “text neck.” Yet, with some information, care, and treatment at Carolina Chiropractic Wellness Group, it’s possible to eliminate and prevent pain. The following questions and answers are a great guide to help do that.

What exactly is text neck, and what are the symptoms?

Text neck is a set of symptoms that occur from the habit of bad posture while using a digital device, especially for long periods. Those suffering from text neck tend to hunch over the device, which puts undue strain on the neck. It leads to stiffness and pain in the neck, headaches, numbness, and tingling in the extremities, eye strain, shoulder pain, brain fog, and fatigue.

Does it only come from texting?

While many people develop the syndrome from texting, that’s not the only way it happens. It can occur while you’re hunched over a keyboard, streaming your favorite shows and any other task that has you leaning over a device.

What’s the treatment for text neck?

Our chiropractor can typically treat text neck through cervical adjustments and therapeutic massage. These will address any alignment issues and help with the tension. Therapeutic exercise is also commonly used to strengthen weakened and damaged areas.

How can I keep text neck from happening again?

Regular visits to our chiropractor are a great way to prevent the syndrome from reoccurring, but there are some things to do at home. For example, hold your device at eye level to help avoid hunching your shoulders. In addition, be sure you take breaks regularly and exercise regularly to ensure a healthy posture.
