How Chiropractic Can Help With Tech Neck From Too Much Screen Time
Spending too much time on your phone or laptop? Here’s how chiropractic care can help ease tech neck and reduce pain from screens.
Have you noticed a constant ache or tightness in your neck after a long day at your desk—or scrolling on your phone? If so, you’re not alone. Tech neck is becoming one of the most common complaints among people of all ages.
The good news is, chiropractic care can offer gentle, drug-free support to help relieve this discomfort and improve your posture over time.
What Is Tech Neck?
Tech neck is a term used to describe the stiffness, soreness, and tension in your neck and shoulders caused by looking down at screens for long periods. Whether it’s your phone, tablet, or laptop, constantly tilting your head forward puts extra pressure on your neck and spine.
Over time, this can lead to:
- Headaches
- Shoulder tightness
- Upper back pain
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Poor posture and reduced mobility
How Chiropractic Can Help
At FeelGood Chiropractic in Hamilton East, I often work with people who are dealing with neck pain from devices. The approach I use is gentle and focused on helping your body realign naturally - without any cracking or heavy force.
Here’s how chiropractic can help with tech neck:
Realigns your spine
When your head is constantly tilting forward, the natural curve in your neck can shift out of balance. Gentle adjustments help restore that healthy alignment, reducing pressure on muscles and nerves.
Releases tension
I use low-force techniques (like the Sacro Occipital Technique) that ease built-up tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper back—supporting better movement and circulation.
Supports your posture
Tech neck often leads to rounded shoulders and a forward head posture. With regular care and simple posture tips, chiropractic can help you feel more upright and comfortable throughout your day.
Small Changes That Make a Big Difference
Chiropractic is just one part of the solution. I’ll also share easy, realistic ways you can support your spine at home or work, like:
- Raising your screen to eye level
- Taking regular movement breaks
- Doing simple neck and shoulder stretches
- Being mindful of your posture while sitting or standing
These small tweaks, paired with regular care, can make a big impact on how you feel.
