Posture & Tech Neck

“Tech neck” describes the neck and upper back pain that comes from looking down at phones, tablets and computers for hours at a time. For every inch your head moves forward, the muscles in your neck and upper back have to work much harder to hold it up.

Over time, poor posture can lead to neck pain, stiffness, tension headaches, rounded shoulders and pain between the shoulder blades. Many people don’t notice it happening until the pain starts.

Our Chiropractors Will

  • Perform a thorough examination of your posture, neck and upper back, and take X-rays if needed.

  • Use adjustments, soft-tissue work and massage to relieve tight muscles and restore movement.

  • Prescribe stretches and strengthening exercises and recommend workstation and screen setup changes to help keep your posture on track.
