What Is "Tech Neck" and Do You Have It?

It comes as no surprise that technology is an increasingly integral part of the average person's life: nearly 77 percent of the American population now owns a smartphone, a figure that's more than doubled in the last seven years. In fact, research suggests that the average American now spends a staggering 8.5 hours in front of screens each day. The bad news? Our bodies are bearing the brunt of that relationship's damaging effect.

While the countless hours we've lost to cat videos and clickbait are bad enough, the potential for neck and back pain related to our screen usage is a more serious issue than many of us realize. Dubbed "Tech Neck" by medical professionals, the downward tilt in our neck that we often take on when looking at our phones, TVs, and computers can have serious repercussions for our spinal cords. Worse yet, if you spend a good portion of your day texting, working at a computer, or watching TV, odds are you're already well on your way to developing this condition.

Luckily, short of ditching our devices for good, there are still ways to combat this digital-era affliction. "The biggest thing you have to do to combat text neck is to stop looking down by bringing your device up so that it's in front of your face rather than below it," says Dr. Nicholas Riccio, D.C., a Manhattan-based chiropractor with New York Chiropractic Group.
