Neck Pain
Are you wondering why you are suffering from back or neck pain? The human head is a heavy object, and our neck and spine are designed to keep it up at a certain angle. Clients are now seeing chiropractors complaining of intense muscular pain in the neck and shoulders caused by recurring screen usage. So much so that US chiropractor Dr Dean L. Fishman has created a name for the condition: Text Neck Syndrome.
That’s not all. Putting strain on your neck will affect your posture in the long run. Bad posture habits can cause chronic back and neck pain. They can also result in health issues such as arthritis, fatigue, bad blood circulation, and headaches and even compromise your ability to breathe well. One thing you can do to help is put your device at eye level by investing in a laptop stand. Yoga is also a very good way to help adjust your posture since many poses help strengthen and stretch the shoulders, chest and back, which are the main areas affected by being on the screen all day. Practising these poses regularly should help with pains that come with bad posture.
