Do you have "Tech Neck"?
In today’s digital world, many people spend hours each day looking at phones, tablets, and computer screens. Excessive screen time has become a growing concern for people of all ages.
📲 Screen Time can cause ‘Tech Neck’
One of the most common issues associated with prolonged screen use is poor posture, often referred to as “tech neck.” Over time, the way we sit, stand, and hold our devices can place significant strain on the muscles, joints, and discs of the neck and back.
When people look down at a phone or lean forward toward a computer screen, the head shifts out of its natural alignment with the spine. The human head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds when properly aligned, but when it tilts forward, the effective weight placed on the neck can increase dramatically. This additional stress forces the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and upper back to work harder to support the head. Over time, this strain can lead to muscle fatigue, tightness, headaches, and chronic discomfort.
