NECK PAIN
5 Tips to Prevent Tech Neck
Tech neck is a forward head posture, with rounded shoulders, and a slumped back. It’s the exact position our bodies take when we’re scrolling through our phones, swiping left and right, and trying to get to the next level of Candy Crush. Anyone else stuck on level 2498? It puts a crazy amount of pressure on the muscles in the back of the neck, shoulders, and upper back, leading to a whole host of “I’m this close to snapping today!” aches and pains. It can also cause our head to double in weight. Double!
There are some proven ways to prevent it:
Hold the Phone Screen Higher
Take a Break
Exercise
Stretch Your Neck
Use Pain as a Warning
Pain is our body’s alarm system sending flares up hoping someone will come to the rescue. Sometimes these tricks are not enough to alleviate pain and the underlying structural issues. At Kalani Total Health Center, we’re able to adjust and correct structural issues to relieve pain and dysfunction caused by nerve interference.
