Why Is It Called Text Neck?

The condition is named “text neck” because it usually stems from people looking down at their phones, usually while texting for long periods. Text neck has affected millions of people all over the world.

What is Text Neck Pain?

Text neck is when the weight of your head causes pain and stress on your cervical spine in your neck as you bend your neck forward when viewing your phone. For example, the weight of your head creates less pressure on your neck when you sit up straight in a neutral spine position. As you lean forward, the pressure and weight of your head increases when you take a quick glance at your phone. The pain in your neck intensifies as a result of being on your phone for long periods of time in a constant leaning position. 

How Is It Diagnosed?

Our chiropractors in Tallahassee can diagnose text neck with a physical examination and patient history.

How Do I Limit The Symptoms?

The best way to reduce the symptoms of text neck is to limit the amount of time you spend looking down at your phone or electronic device. Also, consider stretching your neck to ease the pain and promote blood flow. 

Is It A Serious Condition?

Text neck is usually a minor condition and can be treated quickly if caught early on. However, if symptoms get worse, the problem can be from an underlying condition, which our chiropractors can examine further.
