What Is Text Neck?

Text neck is a term used to describe the pain and discomfort that is felt after long hours of staring down at a phone or other device. The position that many people use to look down at their phone is not conducive to a healthy neck or spine. If you repeat any motion or position over and over again, it can start to take a toll on that body part. This is especially true for the neck.

When the neck is held down at this unusual angle for long periods of time, the neck stiffens. The muscles of the neck will also need to work harder to hold the head in this unnatural position. Over time, these muscles will be tight and shortened, causing you pain. If left untreated, text neck could turn into a chronic pain situation.
