How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help Tech Neck?
Desk jobs often mean spending a lot of time looking at a computer. When you look down at a screen all day, it can lead to what’s called tech neck, a painful condition that limits your mobility and hampers your productivity.
At Aligned Integrated Health, our chiropractic treatments can address the symptoms of your tech neck and improve your posture to avoid future neck pain.
What is tech neck?
Tech neck is a condition that results from looking down for an extended period of time. When you angle your head towards the ground, it places excessive pressure on the ligaments and muscles in your neck. When your head is in this position for too long, it can damage your spinal cord and lead to symptoms like:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches or migraines
- Shoulder pain
- Eye strain
- Numbness or tingling in your arms and hands
How can I prevent tech neck?
There are several ways you can prevent tech neck and maximize your productivity at work. These methods include:
- Daily stretching
- Improving your workplace ergonomics
- Take breaks from your desk
- Keep your screen(s) at eye level
Your chiropractor at Aligned Integrated Health can also provide helpful advice to avoid the development of tech neck.
How does chiropractic care help tech neck?
Tech neck often leads to misalignments in the spine. Your chiropractors at Aligned Integrated Health are specifically trained to identify spinal misalignments and correct them through a series of gentle adjustments. This will reduce inflammation in your neck and help decrease your levels of discomfort. Your chiropractor can also advise you on the best ways to maintain proper posture throughout your workday and avoid developing other painful musculoskeletal conditions.
