Is ‘Text Neck’ Causing Your Back Problems?

If you’ve experienced ongoing headaches, a stiff neck, neck spasms or even pain between your shoulder blades, you may have your cell phone to blame. Actually, the real culprit is all that looking down to scroll, read and text that goes along with using a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device.

It's a growing phenomenon known as text neck syndrome (or tech neck) due to our increasingly digital lifestyle. With an average daily screen time for U.S. adults reaching four hours and 25 minutes (up 30 percent from 2022), according to Reviews.org, it’s no wonder our necks and spines are suffering.

“Our necks are meant to be upright and balanced above our shoulders rather than bent over for long periods,” explains Ahmed Shakir, M.D., a spine surgeon on the medical staff at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital and at Texas Health Neurosurgery and Spine Specialists, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice. “Looking down at a device screen for any length of time puts extra stress and strain on the bones, nerves and muscles that are tasked with holding up your head. They can become tired and sore, resulting in joint swelling, muscle stiffness, pinched nerves or arthritis in the neck region — even spinal deterioration over time.”
