๐ Neck pain is becoming more common in young people around the world.
A new study found that neck pain has been rising since 1990, especially in girls and in countries with higher incomes. It is expected to continue growing by 2050.
Why it matters:
๐น Neck pain can start young and get worse with age
๐น Poor posture and excessive screen time may be part of the problem
๐น Some developed areas are seeing faster increases than others
The good news? Early care, better posture, and regular movement can make a big difference.
