Screen time has become unavoidable in modern life. From smartphones and laptops to tablets and monitors, digital devices dominate both work and leisure. Unfortunately, excessive screen use has created a growing spinal condition known as tech neck.
At Dr. Leone Chiropractic, we see firsthand how prolonged screen time contributes to neck pain, headaches, and spinal misalignment. Understanding the connection between screen habits and tech neck is essential for protecting long-term spinal health.
📱 Why Screen Time Strains the Neck
When using digital devices, most people naturally tilt their heads forward. This position increases pressure on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles.
The longer this posture is maintained, the more strain builds up. Tech neck develops when this stress becomes repetitive and prolonged.
