“Tech Neck”: How Chiropractic Treatment Can Fix It
If you’ve been dealing with tightness in your neck, headaches, or stiffness between your shoulder blades, you’re not alone—“Tech Neck” has become one of the most common issueswe treat at Ashburn Village Chiropractic. Hours spent looking down at phones, laptops, and tablets place constant strain on the neck and upper back. This forward-head posture increases pressure on the cervical spine, tightens the shoulders, and can even lead to numbness or tingling in the hands. Tech Neck isn’t just uncomfortable; over time, it can affect mobility, sleep, and everyday quality of life.
Chiropractic care offers a highly effective, drug-free solution for Tech Neck by addressing both the cause and the symptoms. Gentle spinal adjustments help restore proper alignment in the neck and upper back, reducing stress on irritated joints and nerves. We also incorporate targeted soft-tissue techniques and instrument-assisted muscle work—to release tension built up from long hours of screen time. Many patients experience immediate improvement in neck pain, headaches, and posture after treatment.
Remember computer screen level should be 15 around 15 degrewes below eye level, and take stretch breaks.But long-term relief comes from a combination of chiropractic care and simple lifestyle changes.
