Americans are obsessed with text messaging. According to the 2009 Census, Americans sent 110 billion text messages in December 2008 alone, more than double the amount sent in the same month a year earlier.

Texting may be a convenient, but it also has health implications because it reverses the normal “C-curve” of the cervical spine, causing neck and shoulder pain and what is known as “Forward Head Posture” (FHP). According to the Mayo Clinic, forward head posture leads to “long term muscle strain, disc herniation and pinched nerves”.

Young people are experiencing neck and shoulder pain because of texting, commonly called “text neck”. FHP increases the weight of the head on the spine, causing abnormal leverage.  Dr. Roger Sperry, a Nobel Prize recipient for brain research, explains, “When you have FHP, your brain will rob energy from your thinking, metabolism, and immune function to deal with abnormal gravity/posture relationships and processing”.

Take Dr. Hall’s easy and effective test to determine if you have Forward Head Posture and his advice on how to reduce neck pain.
