Neck Pain

neck-pain

Neck and upper back pain has become the most common complaint seen in our office today. This increase in neck pain can mostly be attributed to the change in lifestyle that technology has created. While new technology in many ways makes our lives easier and more efficient, many our newest tech gadgets have a negative effect on your spine. Changes in our posture from long term use of tablets, computers, and cell phones is having a poor effect on our posture and in turn in our spinal health.   Our postural changes has been linked to increase in neck pain.  According to McAviney et al. in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 2004 those who complain of neck pain were 18 times more likely to have lost their normal cervical posture than those who did not complain of neck pain!
