💻 Spend hours on a computer for work, gaming, or study?

You could be at risk of developing Tech Neck - a growing spinal health concern caused by poor posture and prolonged screen time.

Common symptoms include:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder, and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes and spinal curvature (especially in older adults)

Adjust your thinking: Prevention starts with smart habits:
✅ Maintain an upright, relaxed posture
✅ Take regular movement and stretching breaks
✅ Set your screen at eye level
✅ Use an ergonomic chair (knees slightly lower than hips)
✅ Consider a sit-stand desk to reduce spinal strain

If you frequently use computers and suffer from neck pain, adjust your thinking and join the National Spinal Health Week ‘Movement’. To get the heads up on tech neck and access FREE resources visit www.spinalhealthweek.org.au , or consult Mel and Darren from Coastline Chiropractic Centre for drug-free pain relief from neck pain.

🫵 Kids & Parents Get the HEADS UP on Tech Neck!

With increased time spent on phones, tablets, and screens, children and young people are increasingly at risk of developing tech neck – a musculoskeletal disorder caused by poor posture and prolonged forward head tilt.

Non-ergonomic setups and bad posture habits while using devices like tablets, computers or smartphones can also contribute to this growing concern for children and adults alike.

Follow the guidelines to limit screen time, encourage movement, and support better posture, spinal health and overall wellbeing.

💡 Want to help your child avoid tech neck? Visit www.spinalhealthweek.org.au for FREE resources including factsheets, guides and podcasts or to consult an ACA chiro for drug-free pain relief.
