📱 Tech Neck: The Modern Problem You Didn’t Know You Had

We live in a world where screens are everywhere — phones, laptops, tablets, TVs. While technology makes life easier, it’s also creating a modern health issue: Tech Neck.

At Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale, we’re seeing more and more patients — even teens and young adults — with neck and back pain caused by too much screen time.

🌀 What Is Tech Neck?

Tech Neck happens when you spend long hours looking down at your phone or laptop. This posture puts a lot of strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back. Over time, it can lead to:

• 🤕 Neck pain and stiffness

• 🤯 Headaches

• 💪 Tight shoulders and upper back

• 📉 Poor posture and spinal misalignments

⚠️ Why It’s a Growing Problem

On average, people spend 3–5 hours a day on their phones — and some even more! That’s hundreds of hours each year with your head tilted forward. Even small changes in posture can add extra kilos of pressure on your neck.
