Thanks to modern technology and more specifically, the invention of texting and social media, we can now stay in touch with anyone from anywhere in the world on a constant basis. The globe is smaller than ever before, but are we paying the price with our spine health?

Here at Pure Chiropractic in Staines, we are seeing a growing number of patients experiencing symptoms of neck and upper pain. Many of these patients admit to spending hours hunched over their mobile phones or tablets. Diagnosis: Text Neck.

Frequently looking down at a mobile or tablet can lead to sustained damage in the neck and even lifelong pain in growing children. But the solution is simple – limit the amount of time you and your family spend texting or using the internet on your mobile phones or tablets. It’s as simple as that. Take action now – the risk is too big to ignore.
