A NEW HEALTH CHALLENGE
( TEXT NECK )

❤️Text Neck is a result of staring down or staying hunched over an activity for long.

💯The condition is referred to as “Text Neck” because the saturation of mobile devices, and our cultural addiction to them, have multiplied the amount of time we spend hunched over.

💯Your head weighs, on average, around 10 pounds. With a healthy spine, you never have to think about that weight; your neck manages it with ease.
💯As you bend your neck forward, the stress on your cervical spine increases exponentially. Some experts say that the stress on your cervical spine doubles with every inch your head tilts down.

💯While you’re staring down at your shiny new phone, the stress on your cervical spine has increased to 50 pounds! Now take into account that you could spend around three hours a day staring at your phone and it adds up to extreme stress on your neck.

🧠Text neck most commonly causes neck pain and soreness. In addition, looking down at your cell phone too much each day can lead to:

💯Upper back pain ranging from a chronic, nagging pain to sharp, severe upper back muscle spasms.
💯Shoulder pain and tightness, possibly resulting in painful shoulder muscle spasm.
💯If a cervical nerve becomes pinched, pain and possibly neurological symptoms can radiate down your arm and into your hand (known as cervical radiculopathy).
💯Text neck may also possibly lead to chronic problems due to early onset of arthritis in the neck.

🧠How Can I Fix Text Neck?

💯Stretch!

When you get a couple of minutes during your day, stop to stretch your neck and reset your brain. Tilt your head from left to right a few times. Look over your left shoulder, and then slowly turn your head to look over your right shoulder. Roll your shoulders and neck. Anything you can do to get those stiff muscles moving will pay off.

💯Hold your phone higher

Holding your device higher and bending your neck less can dramatically reduce the strain on your cervical spine. Holding your device in this way can also improve your situational awareness.

💯Set it Down

So while this is maybe easier said than done, it’s nonetheless important to put the phone down every once in a while. Maybe a text message gets missed, but the benefit to your health and wellness will be worth it in the long run.

TAKING MEASURES TO PREVENT FUTURE BACK PAIN

To prevent back pain, learn to lift and bend properly. Follow these tips:

If an object is too heavy or awkward, get help.
Spread your feet apart to give you a wide base of support.
Stand as close as possible to the object you are lifting.
Bend at your knees, not at your waist.
Tighten your stomach muscles as you lift or lower the object.
Hold the object as close to your body as you can.
Lift using your leg muscles.
As you stand up while holding the object, DO NOT bend forward. Try to keep your back straight.
DO NOT twist while you are bending to reach for the object, lifting it up, or carrying it.
Other measures to prevent back pain include:

Avoid standing for long periods. If you must stand for your work, place a stool by your feet. Alternate resting each foot on the stool.
DO NOT wear high heels. Wear shoes that have cushioned soles when walking.
When sitting, especially if using a computer, make sure that your chair has a straight back with an adjustable seat and back, armrests, and a swivel seat.
Use a stool under your feet while sitting so that your knees are higher than your hips.
Place a small pillow or rolled towel behind your lower back while sitting or driving for long periods.
If you drive long-distance, stop and walk around every hour. DO NOT lift heavy objects just after a long ride.
Quit smoking.
Lose weight.
Do exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles. This will strengthen your core to decrease the risk of further injuries.
Learn to relax. Try methods such as yoga, tai chi, or massage.

Top 10 tips for a healthy back, including lifting advice, how to sit properly and back-strengthening exercises.

1. Exercise your back regularly – walking, swimming (including front and back strokes) and using exercise bikes are all excellent ways to strengthen your back muscles.

2. Always bend your knees and hips, not your back.

3. Learn to lift heavy objects using the correct lifting technique.

4. Carry larger loads in a comfortable rucksack using both shoulder straps, and avoid sling bags.

5. Maintain a good posture – avoid slumping in your chair, hunching over a desk, or walking with your shoulders hunched.

6. Try to take a short break from sitting every 30 minutes.

7. Stop smoking – it's thought smoking reduces the blood supply to the discs between the vertebrae, and this may lead to these discs degenerating.

8. Lose any excess weight. Use our healthy weight calculator to find out if you're a healthy weight for your height.

9. Check that your bed provides the correct support and comfort for your weight and build, not just firmness.

10. Learn relaxation techniques such as this breathing exercise to help manage stress. Stress is a major cause of back pain.
