We have put together this list of questions to help you know when to visit a chiropractor for help.

Text Neck FAQs

How do you develop neck pain from texting?

Text neck develops much like the name of this condition suggests. When you stare at a screen, your head places a large amount of weight on your neck. Over time, this can lead to strain that causes you discomfort. While the condition is most commonly associated with frequent and long-term use of electronic devices, you might also develop similar symptoms from any activity that causes you to look down for long periods. People who sew, draw or read are also prone to developing this condition.

What are the other symptoms?

Neck pain is the most prominent symptom you can experience, but there are a few other signs that you might need care from our chiropractor. People with this condition may notice stiffness in their neck that extends down into their shoulders and upper back. Text neck can also cause headaches and pain in your shoulders. The pain throughout the upper region of your body may be dull and constant, or you might notice sharp shooting pains. Some people may also notice tingling or numbness in their arms and hands. If you see these symptoms worsen after spending several hours using your electronic devices or with your head downward, you may have text neck.

How can our chiropractor help?

When you visit our chiropractor, they will give you a complete exam to ensure your care addresses your problem. Receiving a comprehensive exam can help ensure your care addresses your issues. Once they determine text neck is the source of pain, our chiropractor will help you identify the best methods to find relief.
