Do you know about the problem of 'tech neck'..!?
As facilities increase, as technology increases, so do the problems caused by them! But a little care is enough to solve this problem. Otherwise, there is a risk that the problem will escalate. Naturally, people who use phones, tablets, and computers without a gap put pressure on the neck muscles. The result is severe pain. This is called Tech Neck. Yes... the modern name for neck pain is Tech Neck! people who sit in front of the computer all the time get this kind of pain. Reading too much or looking at a mobile phone screen can cause repetitive stress on the back. Similarly, when sitting in front of a computer and looking at a smart screen, the muscles behind the neck contract due to the weight of the head.
This puts not only the muscles behind the neck but also the intervertebral discs under pressure. Due to this tech neck, symptoms such as pain in the neck and upper part of the shoulders along with severe headache and numbness of the arms are seen. Experts warn that if this problem is not identified and proper care is not taken, there is a risk of losing the natural curvature of the spine. According to scientific research, the main reason for this problem is spending too much time on the phone and sitting in front of the computer. people working with computers should arrange a suitable chair for waist support. At the same time, instead of leaning forward, make sure to sit straight. At the same time, take a break at least once every hour. As a result, the burden on the neck is reduced and blood circulation is regular. Those who already have this problem should consult a physiotherapist get the necessary massages and follow the exercises. Make sure that the smart screen is at eye level. Limit the time spent in front of the screen.
