Chiropractic for Text Neck and Tech-Related Pain in Sanford, FL — Finding Relief in the Digital Age

We spend more time on screens than ever — phones, laptops, tablets — and our bodies feel it. That constant forward head posture leads to neck tension, shoulder pain, and headaches, often called “text neck.”

At Journey Spinal Care in Sanford, FL, we help patients correct posture, relieve tension, and prevent long-term strain with personalized chiropractic and bodywork care.

What Is Text Neck — and Why It Happens

“Text neck” is a modern condition caused by prolonged forward head posture while using electronic devices. Every inch your head moves forward adds up to 10 extra pounds of strain on your cervical spine — forcing your muscles, ligaments, and joints to work overtime.

Common contributors include:

• Hours spent hunched over screens

• Poor sitting posture and weak core muscles

• Elevated stress levels and tension

• Repetitive daily habits like scrolling or working at low desks

  
  

Over time, this can lead to inflammation, muscle fatigue, and even disc or nerve irritation.

Common Symptoms of Text Neck and Tech-Related Pain

• Stiffness or soreness in the neck and shoulders

• Headaches or eye strain

• Pain between the shoulder blades

• Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands

• Fatigue or tension that worsens after long screen time

  
  

Ignoring early warning signs can cause muscular compensation — tightening in the upper back, rounded shoulders, or even nerve compression over time.

How a Text Neck Chiropractor in Sanford, FL Can Help

Dr. Sammer Yacoub takes a holistic approach to treating text neck by focusing on alignment, muscle balance, and movement. Chiropractic adjustments help restore mobility to the neck and upper back, while soft-tissue work reduces muscle tension and improves circulation.

Your care plan may include:

• Gentle cervical and thoracic adjustments to realign joints

• Therapeutic massage and cupping for tight muscles

• Posture retraining and stretching routines

• Ergonomic education for work and device use

  
  

Together, these therapies relieve strain, reduce inflammation, and teach your body to maintain better posture naturally.
