Do you have “Text Neck”?
“Tilting your head a mere 15 degrees puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine; a 30 degree neck tilt could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree tilt adds the force of 49 pounds.”
While that is not new news to our office, most people have no idea about the amount of stress they are putting on their neck & spine when looking down to text, play games, etc. While correcting your posture on a cell phone can help, we recommend you also visit a chiropractors office who can further evaluate your spine & health. It really can make a big difference.
