Modern life means more time on screens—and more stress on your neck. At BackFit Health + Spine, we’re seeing a dramatic rise in “tech neck,” a condition where poor posture during screen time leads to chronic neck pain.
What Is Tech Neck?
“Tech neck” refers to strain on the cervical spine due to prolonged head-forward posture while using smartphones, laptops, or tablets. Even a 15-degree tilt forward increases neck strain significantly.
Common Symptoms:
- Stiffness or tightness in the neck and shoulders
- Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
- Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands
- Reduced range of motion
How BackFit Helps
Our team provides:
- Chiropractic adjustments to realign the cervical spine
