“TECH NECK” & COMPUTER POSTURE: HOW TECHNOLOGY AFFECTS YOUR SPINE

In today’s modern world, computers and cell phones have become essential tools for communication, work, and entertainment. However, the convenience of these devices comes at a cost – they can negatively impact our posture. Poor posture can lead to a host of health issues, including neck and back pain, headaches, and even digestive problems. Luckily, chiropractic care can help alleviate these issues and restore proper alignment to the spine.

Computers and cell phones are known to encourage poor posture due to the repetitive movements and extended periods of time spent hunched over the screen. This can lead to a condition known as “tech neck,” where the neck is strained from constantly looking down at a screen. Similarly, sitting for long periods in front of a computer can cause back pain and spinal misalignment.

Considering this, chiropractors may also recommend ergonomic changes to your work environment, as well as exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles that support good posture. It is important to be mindful of our posture when using computers and cell phones, and to take regular breaks to stretch and move around. But if you find yourself experiencing pain or discomfort as a result of poor posture, consider seeking chiropractic care here at Hands for Life to address the underlying issues. By working with a chiropractor, you can improve your posture, alleviate pain, and promote overall wellness. And by us working with you, Hands for Life can be sure that it’s following through on its mission to help keep all of our community out of pain and opiate free.
