¿Qué es el text neck y cómo el uso del celular puede dañar la cervical?
El text neck es una de las afecciones musculoesqueléticas más frecuentes asociadas al uso prolongado de dispositivos móviles
TL;DR
- 'Text neck' is a musculoskeletal condition caused by prolonged forward head posture while using mobile devices.
- The weight on the cervical spine increases dramatically with head inclination, leading to pain, tension, and wear.
- Symptoms include persistent neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, headaches, and tingling in the arms or hands.
- The condition is increasingly diagnosed in younger individuals, particularly those who spend many hours on their phones.
- Prevention involves holding the phone at eye level, maintaining good posture, taking breaks, stretching, and strengthening neck and back muscles.
- Persistent or radiating pain requires medical attention to avoid long-term complications.
