Kids and teens are getting headaches, migraines, neck and back pain etc. not from the screen but mainly from how they hold their body. The spine houses the spinal cord and nerves. Keep it health or it will get cavities too.
The Future of a Generation: Hyperkyphosis from Excessive Screen Use 🤔
We’re witnessing a troubling trend — the posture of a generation being reshaped by screens. Hours spent hunched over phones, tablets, and laptops are leading to a condition known as hyperkyphosis — an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine.
What was once seen mostly in the elderly is now appearing in teenagers and young adults, their necks craned downward for hours each day. The constant strain on the spine, shoulders, and neck muscles gradually alters posture, causing the classic “tech neck” or hunchback appearance.
Beyond looks, the consequences run deeper: chronic pain, reduced lung capacity, nerve compression, and long-term musculoskeletal damage. Doctors warn that these posture issues, left unchecked, could become one of the most widespread lifestyle-induced deformities of the 21st century.
It’s a silent epidemic of our digital age — one text, one scroll, one slouch at a time.✅
