“Text Neck” is sweeping the entire world, causing an extreme spike in discomfort and other problems for millions of people.
Text Neck is a syndrome in which the neck is no longer properly aligned with the spine. This causes the neck to begin to stick out in a forward position in relation to the position of the neck. While it does not immediately cause harm, it does slowly begin to cause discomfort, which gradually grows into immense discomfort and pain. If Text Neck is left untreated, it can lead to the affected person’s spine no longer functioning properly, loss of lung capacity, and even bowel/intestinal movement problems.
The cause of Text Neck is simple, but it is also frightening to think about. Daunting even. The answer? Technology. This is why Text Neck effects so many. If you use a computer, laptop, tablet, cellphone, or other digital devices that require your attention for extended periods of time, then you may already have the beginning steps of Text Neck. This is why it is known as “Text Neck.”
So, then how does one prevent or help improve the effects of Text Neck? The very first thing one should do is work on cutting down on the amount of time they spend on devices such as computers, tablets, etc. Cutting your time on these devices by even an hour per day, could drastically improve your neck. The second thing to work on is correcting the positioning of one’s neck in relation to their spine. This is especially important to do while one is actually in the act of using one of the previously mentioned electronic devices. The best way to do this is by using an orthopedic neck pillow, or a neck pillow especially designed to keep one’s neck in the natural position it is meant to be in.
Your neck pillow should hold your neck in the neutral alignment in order to counteract Text Neck and to give you both support and comfort. There is a pillow that is perfect for exactly this. The Neck Sofa® Pillow is just the answer!
