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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’re suffering from text neck, natural and lasting relief is only a phone call away. So schedule your appointment with Carolina Chiropractic Wellness Group by calling (828) 322-4787 today.
