Text neck syndrome can lead to the following:

- neck and shoulder discomfort

- neck and shoulder pain

- peripheral neurological symptoms in the arms and hands

- disc prolapse

- degeneration of the neck


Text neck syndrome is causing

- eye and ear symptoms

- psychological problems

- poor academic performance

- poor posture

- decrease in physical activity

- obesity


So how is text neck actually affecting the body?

- it starts with large portions of the day with the neck flexed looking down at the device ( it is recommended no more than 30 minutes a day )

- leading to the altered posture of the spine

- leading to muscle and ligament stress

- affecting the deep muscles of the spine ( like the erector spinae muscle)

- the leads to degeneration of the spine, fatigue, strain, and can lead to disc herniations


The researchers made the university students exercise 5 days a week for 8 weeks


After the trial, over a third of the students had reduced neck pain


The student's forward head posture was reduced, and their head tilt had minimalised.


Imagine the benefits when you combine Stretches, Massage, and Chiropractic. Relief could be just a phone call away.
