Chiropractic Yokohama Kannai - Smartphone Neck

 

The use of smartphones, iPads and handheld devices is a huge part of our daily lives. Unfortunately, these devices can have a negative effect on your neck and back. This condition is known as “Smartphone Neck” or “Text Neck” and can cause a range of symptoms including headaches, shoulder pain, neck pain and sometimes even arm pain. The problem is caused by the way you hold your device. The unnatural and excessive downward posture puts a lot of stress on the muscles, ligaments and tendons in your neck. Over time, this can lead to misalignments of the vertebrae in your cervical spine or upper back. These spinal misalignments can lead to nerve pressure, pinched arteries and even herniated discs.

Luckily, chiropractic can help you fix this issue. A chiropractor can assess and correct the spine’s alignment and treat the tightness in your neck that is causing your problems. In addition, a chiropractor may also recommend physical therapy to restore your neck’s range of motion.

To prevent this type of pain, raise the screen of your phone to eye level while using it and take frequent breaks from your device. Additionally, try to do more stretching exercises for your neck and back. Finally, if you do have neck pain, visit your local カイロプラクティック　横浜　関内　スマホ首  clinic for long term solutions and natural healing. Chiropractors are the best doctors to see for this problem because they have the training and experience to correctly adjust the neck and spine.
