You know we live Digital World and we feel lost when we cant find our phone. But our constant need for technology could lead to some serious medical problems including one you probably never even heard of. You see them everywhere. People walking while looking down at their phone. Crossing the street looking down at the phone. At a coffee shop hunched over. End grossed in text conversations checking facebook, returning emails unaware the strain theyre putting on their neck. Staring at a smart phone for hours a day with your neck bent down at an odd angle and seemingly frozen leads to early wear and tear on the spine. Experts are calling it tech ne neck. The weight of your head and as you flex and flex and flex, you incrementally increase the amount of stress op your cervical spine. Dr. Alex vaccaro a Spine Surgery and president of Rothman Institute and the doctor for the philadelphia eagles. The doctor says thanks to our modern world and reliance on smart phones, tablets and laptops tech neck is an epp depth pick. Youre also doing this. Also rubbing their neck. I was laughing with friends. Thats going to lead to a lot more Spine Surgery. It will lead to advanced degenerative changes. Because its a recent phenomenon many peel dont know why they have tech next. People have no idea its related to their handheld device. Erin a 28yearold nurse who uses her phone several hours a day and says countless text messaging started experiencing neck pain a couple of months ago it was so persistent she went to see the doctor. He explained to me that theres this new sort of epidemic, if you will, that people are calling tech next. I didnt thin it was real think. I didnt really take the too seriously but i thought about it more even thought about my posture even thought about what i was doing, and i realized it has to cause some sort of damage on your body at some point. The doctor says the problem is the human head weighs about 12 pounds. But the neck bends forward and down, the weight on the cervical spine increases at 60 degrees its 60 pounds. To put that into perspective, looking down at a device is like having an eightyearold child hanging on your neck for two to three hours a day. Adults spent an average of two to four hours a day hunched over their phones. Thats seven hun hundred to 1400 hours a year people are putting stress on their spine. Young people are especially at risk. I see with handheld devices in their hands. It can have longterm effect. If youre looking down at that age you will have degenerative changes. What can you could did . First limit the use of definite advices. Set boundaries for your kids. Erin says most importantly you want to be holding your device at aisle 11. You dont want to bend your neck. You want to gaze down. Using our phones is Second Nature and they arent going anywhere.
