@scuhs: Are you familiar with Text Neck? Text Neck Syndrome refers to the strain placed on your neck muscles from frequently looking down at your phone. It's important to note that the average human head weighs around 10-12 pounds. However, when you tilt your head forward, the weight exerted on the cervical spine increases significantly, reaching a pressure equivalent to 27-60 pounds on your neck. Some common symptoms associated with Text Neck Syndrome include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and possible neck spasms. To prevent these issues, it's advisable to keep your phone elevated while using it, ensuring that your neck remains in a neutral position. Doing so can help alleviate strain on your neck muscles and reduce the risk of developing Text Neck. #TextNeck #Chiro #TextNeckSyndrome #WeAreSCU #NeckPain #Healthcare #SCU #University #TheMoreYouKnow #GoBeyond
