    The average person spends several hours a day looking down at a phone. That seemingly harmless habit puts enormous load on the cervical spine — a condition known as "text neck."

    When the head tilts forward 60°, the effective load on the neck reaches roughly 27 kg instead of the natural 5 kg. Over time this leads to:

    • Chronic neck and shoulder pain
    • Tension headaches
    • Forward head posture
    • Reduced cervical curve
    • Numbness or tingling in the arms

    Chiropractic correction: We use spinal adjustments to restore mobility, posture-specific exercises to strengthen deep neck flexors, and ergonomic coaching to change the daily habits causing the strain. Early intervention prevents long-term degeneration.

    Your phone is not going away — but its impact on your neck does not have to be permanent.
