Tech Neck is Real: How Your Phone Affects Your Spine

Everyone is always walking around looking down at their phones. While it may seem harmless, this common posture, referred to as tech neck, can actually be very damaging for your spine. Here’s how it can affect your spine:

  • Increased Neck Strain: Muscles in the neck and shoulders work harder to support your head leading to tightness. 
  • Headaches: Muscle tension at the base of your skull can trigger tension headaches. 
  • Postural Changes Over Time: Looking down at your phone all the time can alter spinal alignment and can lead to long-term discomfort.
