Tech Neck — Understanding the Pain Behind Modern Posture 📱💢
If your day includes phones, laptops, or long hours at a desk, you might be feeling the effects of tech neck — a modern condition caused by prolonged forward head posture and rounded shoulders.
When the head shifts just inches forward, it places exponential stress on the neck and upper back… and your body lets you know.
Common Symptoms of Tech Neck:
• Persistent neck stiffness or soreness
• Sharp pain between the shoulder blades
• Tension headaches or migraines
• Reduced mobility in the neck
• Tingling or numbness into the arms or hands
• Fatigue or heaviness in the upper back
• Increased hunching or poor posture habits
Why It Happens:
Every inch your head moves forward adds up to significant extra weight on the cervical spine. Over time, this leads to muscle fatigue, joint strain, inflammation, and structural changes that can worsen pain.
