TecNeck: Technology Effect on Your Neck

Are you looking at your phone right now? Stop and evaluate your posture, is your head down looking at your device? You're not alone.

What is TecNeck?

The average time spent looking at mobiles is 3 hours and 15 minutes daily, as well as checking them on average 58 times per day; TOTALLY 4-5 hours a day.
Some people spend eight or more hours using a computer each workday. After work, you may then spend another two to four hours on a home computer or your phone. TOTALLY over 10 hours a day.
The combined time spent using a screened device is highly fatiguing for your neck and body. TecNeck is any form of chronic neck or shoulder pain, soreness, or stiffness caused by poor posture while using technology, such as phones, computers, and live videoconferencing.
TecNeck also can cause issues beyond your neck and shoulders, with the extra spinal pressure in your neck can lead to mid and lower-back pain as well as headaches. Full Mayo Clinic Report

The problem of pressure from TecNeck.

Bending your head forward at a 45-degree angle to look at a cellphone or tablet can dramatically increase your chances of having a "TecNeck."

When spending extended time looking down at electronic devices, your neck and upper back feel the same pressure from the weight of your head, causing additional pressure on the Atlas pivotal bone in the neck. As a result, " TecNeck " is becoming a more common issue for people in businesses, schools, and industry.

You can use an analogy with a gallon of milk to help understand the pressure of supporting your head on the neck, shoulders and back. The average adult's head weighs approximately 10-12 pounds, while a gallon of milk weighs roughly eight pounds. You can likely hold a gallon of milk next to your body for an extended length of time. But if you extend your arm to hold the gallon of milk out to your side, you're creating 72 pounds of pressure at your elbow and 96 pounds at your shoulder. Holding the gallon of milk outstretched for an extended period would be more difficult due to the pressure from the weight.

As a result of " TecNeck," it is becoming a more common issue for people in businesses, schools, and industries.

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability, with an annual prevalence rate exceeding 30%. Most episodes of acute neck pain will resolve with or without treatment, but nearly 50% of those people will continue to experience some degree of fatigue or discomfort from frequent recurrences. As a result of "tech neck," it is becoming a more common issue for people in businesses, schools, and industries.

Your posture also can contribute to these issues. While using a cellphone, you're likely to bring it closer to your body to maintain visual comfort and see the screen more clearly. People looking at their phones often stay in a static or same position for extremely long periods of time. This actually requires more work and effort from your body than dynamic movement.

Your body wants visual comfort over postural comfort. This means you will tend to change your posture to accommodate vision on your screen, which can cause musculoskeletal fatigue.

Tech neck can also cause issues beyond the neck and shoulders. Extra spinal pressure in the neck can lead to mid- and lower-back pain, as well as headaches.
