Chiropractic Yokohama Kannai Smartphone Neck

 


If you are a technology user then chances are good that you spend 2-4 hours a day with your head in an unnatural down and forward position looking at your mobile device. It has been shown that this can lead to pain in the neck and upper back referred to as Text Neck. This position also has been linked to digestive problems, lower lung capacity, and neurological issues.

The problem is not the phone itself, but how you hold it. This constant tilting of the head down puts a great deal of stress on the muscles in the neck, ligaments, tendons, and vertebrae in the cervical spine (neck) and upper back. It causes these structures to weaken, and eventually the nerves they protect can get pinched or even irritated. This can lead to misalignments of the spine, which can interfere with the brains communication with all the muscles, organs, and functions in the body. It can also lead to a loss of the normal curve of the spine and cause your muscles to shorten, tighten, and weaken giving you a hunched over appearance..Looking More カイロプラクティック 横浜 関内 スマホ首 

The good news is that this condition can be reversed with the help of a Chiropractor. Chiropractors have the training to adjust your neck to ship the vertebrae, ligaments, and tendons back into the proper alignment. They can also recommend lifestyle and exercise changes that will prevent the condition from recurring. This would include raising the mobile device to eye level and taking frequent breaks, stretching the neck, and using a physical therapist to restore the neck’s range of motion.
