How To Avoid Tech/Text Neck

For those individuals living near Rockefeller Center and Hell's Kitchen in the 10036 zip code of NYC, there is a new way to resolve your tech neck or text neck. All of that staring down at your smartphone has caused your neck pain and we can help. Choose NuView Health Medical as your preferred chiropractic clinic in New York City.

What is Tech or Text Neck?

Tech or text neck is a physical condition in which your neck muscles are strained. This is caused by looking downward at a phone or surface for hours on end. When you do this, your neck and upper spine along with the shoulder region can be pulled out of position. 

The vertebrae in the upper cervical can also be adversely affected causing bulging discs or slipped discs. The result is a pain in your neck, upper back, and lower back region from straining your neck downward.

What is the Chiropractic Treatment for Tech Neck?

At NuView Health Medical, we provide chiropractic treatment for tech neck starting with a chiropractic evaluation. Then we use chiropractic adjustments to correct the alignment of the spine and the surrounding muscle tissue. This way your upper cervical spine and neck muscles can be repositioned, as well. The result is increased circulatory function, improved healing, and reduced inflammation, which helps cut down on pain in your neck.

How Can I Protect Against Text Neck in NYC?

Start by stretching your neck periodically throughout the day if you regularly stare downward. Be more conscious of how often you stare when texting or using technology like a keyboard. Also, visit your NYC chiropractor to get regular chiropractic adjustments to protect against text neck.
