FAQs About Text Neck

If you spend a lot of time looking down at your phone, you may start to experience neck pain. This condition, known as “text neck,” is becoming more common. At Heresco Chiropractic & Associates, we often get questions about text neck and how it can be treated. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about text neck.

1. What Causes Text Neck?

Text neck is caused by the forward head posture that many of us adopt when we are looking down at our phones. This posture puts a lot of strain on the muscles and ligaments in the neck, which can lead to pain and discomfort.

2. How Do I Know If I Have Text Neck?

There are a few telltale signs that you may have text neck. If you find yourself experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s a good idea to consult with a chiropractor:

• Chronic neck pain
• Headaches that originate in the neck
• Increased stiffness in the neck or shoulders
• A loss of range of motion in the neck or shoulders

3. How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors are trained to identify and treat conditions like text neck. We will perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify the source of your pain. Once we have determined that your pain is being caused by text neck, we will develop a treatment plan to address your specific needs. This may include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, strengthening exercises, and stretching exercises.
