How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help Text Neck?
Text neck is a repetitive stress injury that occurs when you spend hours looking down at your cell phone, tablet, laptop, or even a book. You can develop text neck symptoms when the weight of your head begins to damage the delicate structures of your neck as it tries to hold your head in a downward position. At Brodwyn & Associates, our experienced team of chiropractors has extensive knowledge of how repetitive stress and overuse injuries affect the neck. We can quickly diagnose your injury and find safe, effective, drug-free solutions. Here is a look at what text neck is and how our chiropractors treat text neck pain in Columbus, GA.
What Is Text Neck?
Text neck, also called text neck syndrome, is a collection of symptoms that occur when repetitive stress injuries affect the cervical spine and soft tissues of the neck. Text neck can be caused by looking downwards for long periods of time while using your cell phone, tablet, laptop, or reading a book.
How Do I Know If I Have Text Neck?
We will begin by asking you about your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and home and work environment. We will do a physical examination, during which we will touch parts of your neck, head, and shoulders. We will ask you to do some physical movements so that we can assess your range of motion, dexterity, and strength. We will also take an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to rule out other common causes of neck pain. We recommend that you schedule a visit if you have any of these text neck symptoms:
- Pain in your neck, upper back, and shoulders
- Tension and stiffness in your neck, upper back, and shoulders
- Reduced range of motion of your neck
- Poor posture and rounded shoulders
- Tension headaches or migraines
