Text Neck Treatment Through Chiropractic Care?

Written By Marshall Family Chiropractic on July 6, 2020

rsz textneckHas being quarantined at home left you spending countless hours looking at your phone, tablet, or computer screen? Then you’re likely experiencing some tightness and possibly even pain in your neck, shoulders, and upper back. This pain is known as text neck, and while studies have shown that musculoskeletal problems may be short-lived initially, it can develop into a long-term issue if it’s not properly addressed with adequate neck pain treatment. 

How Do I Know When to Seek Text Neck Pain Treatment?

A recent study reported that approximately 79% of the population between the ages of 18 and 44 have their cell phone or other smart devices on them at all times. Unfortunately, when we are on our devices, we typically aren’t focusing on proper posture, instead choosing to focus on comfort. 

This poor posture leads to the symptoms of text neck syndrome, which include:

  • Pinched cervical nerves/pain
  • Pain in the upper back 
  • Back spasms
  • Tightness/pain in the shoulders
  • Headaches
  • Jaw pain 
  • Reduced mobility
  • Disc Compression and more

Text neck pain treatment varies by individual, and many people find relief simply by giving their devices a break and alternating the use of hot and cold compresses to relax the muscles of the neck. However, for those with long-term text neck pain, treatment may include the use of pain medication.
