📱Kids today are spending more time than ever on phones, tablets, and laptops—for school, entertainment, and staying connected. While technology is a part of everyday life, too much screen time with poor posture can lead to a growing problem known as “tech neck.”
Tech neck occurs when the head is consistently tilted forward while looking down at a screen. This position places extra stress on the neck and upper spine, which can lead to:
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Headaches
• Rounded shoulders and poor posture
• Muscle tension and fatigue
• Reduced spinal mobility over time
Because a child’s spine is still developing, these postural habits can create long-term issues if not addressed early.
How chiropractic care helps:
Chiropractic care for kids focuses on gentle, age-appropriate adjustments that support proper spinal alignment, posture, and healthy movement. Combined with posture education and movement habits, it can help relieve tension and support healthy growth.
Simple tips for parents:
✔ Encourage screens at eye level
✔ Take frequent movement breaks
✔ Limit recreational screen time
✔ Promote good posture during homework
✔ Schedule regular spinal checkups
Healthy habits today help protect your child’s spine for the future. If you’ve noticed your child complaining of neck pain or slouching more than usual, it may be time for a posture check.
