Technology where on one hand has paced up our lives and amplified connectivity, on the other hand, it is rigorously affecting our personal lives and health. Excessive use of technology has several negative repercussions on our physical health causing vision problems, hearing loss, neck strain, and spine issues.

Almost every other person is experiencing chronic pain rushing down their neck, through arms to phalanges after protracted use of mobile or any other wireless device. Usually, we tend to avoid this bearable pain until it gains a severity. This constant pain was coined as Text Neck by a US Chiropractor named Dr. Dean L. Fishman. Text Neck syndrome has become a serious concern among children and teenagers. You must be wondering, from where did the Text Neck syndrome come and why is it becoming a serious concern among our younger and growing generation?

Why Text Neck Syndrome has become a serious concern among children and teenagers?

According to research, mobile users are expected to exceed the mark of 5 billion in 2020. This massive surge in the mobile market can certainly be attributed to the increased availability of smartphones. The Groupe Speciale Mobile Association’s 2018 research stated, around 68% of the world population had access to mobile phones and put forward a prediction claiming 75% of the world’s population will possess mobile phones till 2020. This growing smartphone phobia gave birth to the Text Neck syndrome in which a mobile phone or other wireless technology users can experience severe pain in the neck.

How smartphones and other such wireless devices cause text neck syndrome?

Why does it happen? Well, our head weighs around 10 pounds on our spine in a normal position. However, at wrong posture or craning our neck forward while texting, gaming or using the smart device can make our head weigh up to 60 pounds on spine, cervical ligaments and other muscles. This overweighing causes chronic spine issues among teenagers generally now known as text neck syndrome.
