 Is it possible to prevent pressure on the neck and spine?

We are concerned that children who use the phone throughout the day may or may not be aware of these issues. Most orthopedic surgeons say that when using the phone, it is important to look down. Can't look back because you're in the process of texting a message.

At this point, your neck is tilted to such an extent that it does not tilt when browsing online or watching videos on a computer. Generally, people keep their neck at an angle of about 45 degrees and when standing, when they are sitting. If so, their necks are in a worse position.

If the neck is bent more, the pressure on the spinal cord gradually increases. If you look to the front without bending, the head weight is about 10 to 12 pounds.

If the neck is bent to a degree of 25 degrees, the weight of the head is felt up to 27 pounds.

He added that children whose spine As the bones of the bone marrow are developing and not fully formed, it is not possible to say with certainty how much this condition affects their health or their anatomy.

How to avoid Text Neck posture?

If people use both hands and both thumbs while using cell phones while texting. Instead of using smartphones, Cran Spinal Surgeons also gave useful tips on using computers and tablets.

For example, use stands that can keep their eyes on the screen.

You don't have to bow your head to see them.

This method is also recommended for laptops and it is recommended that they use a separate keyboard and mouse so that the laptop is at eye level and whatever they type, try to keep the neck in a relaxed position. It is very difficult for smartphone users to recommend proper posture because if we try to bring the phone up to the level of our eyes so that the viewers below are protected from the posture, then there is a risk of shoulder pain. Because then we will be forced to lift our arms and shoulders.

A more practical recommendation is to take frequent breaks while using the smartphone and do some exercise that strengthens the neck and shoulder muscles.
