DID YOU KNOW
BY FOLLOWING A FEW SIMPLE RULES
YOU CAN PREVENT BACK INJURY
Text neck typically begins as a relatively mild ache
in the neck or upper back. It could also present with
sharp pain or stiffness in the neck.
When text neck is suspected of causing pain, it is
typically treated with a combination of:
•Limiting phone/tablet use to necessary tasks
•Using better posture by holding devices up closer
to eye level
•Performing exercises and stretches that
specifically target the neck, chest, and upper back
If not addressed, the continued forward head
posture and hunched shoulders may worsen over
time, which could lead to even more pain and
reduced mobility in the neck, upper back, and
shoulders.
