Neck Pain and Technology Use

Our constant use of phones and computers can contribute to neck pain. When people spend hours looking down at screens, it puts strain on the muscles in the neck, leading to soreness and stiffness. This habit is often called “tech neck.” Taking breaks and keeping screens at eye level can reduce neck pain caused by technology. Simple adjustments like lifting a phone to eye level or using a stand for a laptop can relieve the stress on the neck and reduce pain over time.
